Can the crystal heads of the super-category five network cable and the six-type network cable be universal?

Cat5e network cable and cat6e network cable are the most commonly used network cables at present. In household network cables, Cat5e network cables are generally used.

If you consider using a Gigabit network in the future, it is recommended to use a Category 6 network cable.

Generally, when we lay out the network cable, it is connected to the crystal head, and the crystal head of the super five and six types is different.

From the specification point of view, the size and material of the Super Category 5 network cable and the Category 6 network cable are the same. However, the copper core size of the Cat5e and Cat6 network cables is different.

The size of the copper core of the super five types of network cables is about 0.45 to 0.51, while the size of the copper cores of the six types of network cables is about 0.52-0.58. The copper core of Category 6 cable is thicker than that of Category 5e cable. Because the copper cores of the two are different, the holes inside the crystal head are also different.

The crystal heads of Category 6 network cables are arranged in staggered layers, that is, they are divided into two rows, four on the top and four on the bottom. The crystal heads of the Super Category 5 network cables are arranged in a straight line.

When purchasing a crystal head, you must find out whether you are using a Category 5 cable or a Category 6 cable.
