[ferguson 0]

Hello i have a spare roll of cat 6e cable sitting in my garage and am wondering can any body tell me if this TP-link POE switch will work using cat 6e cable? and also is cat 6e is ok to run ip cameras on?

Thanks for your help

Your switch nor your camera know if it's cat5 or cat6. Cat6 is backward compatible.

Cat6 is slightly superior for long runs of POE connections because the larger gauge wire gives less power drop.

The cheaper cat6 is 24ga just like cat5.
