Okay, to cut it short, I know the diameter of conductor in a 6 cable is thicker than a 5e cable and the punch blocks in either a 5e or 6 panel/modules are spec’s to this.
BUT
In terms of operating, assuming termination creates a good connection, can you achieve cat6 speeds with a decent cat5e patch panel (Connectix, Excel etc)?
There’s nothing ‘active’ in the panels and assume it’s just down to connection qualities and reduction in noise crossover - but are the panels actually designed in this way to reflect these design considerations in the cable?
I’ve searched the heck out of this and people just say it will work at the slowest speed component, but I question how much difference the panel actually makes in real world.
