Q:Do you have to use the manufacturer's patch cords to get category
6 performance?
A:The category 6 standard has specifications for patch cords and connectors
that are intended to assure interoperable category 6 performance. If manufacturers
can demonstrate that each component meets the requirements in the standard,
minimum category 6 performance will be achieved. However, manufacturers
may also design their products to perform better than the minimum category
6 requirements, and in these cases compatible patch cords and connectors
may lead to performance above the minimum category 6 requirements.
