Hi this how to video explains the differences between cat5e and cat6 rj45 plugs and also the difference between stranded core and solid core rj45 plugs.

Solid core cable rj45 connectors. Use of a connector with the wrong cable type is likely to lead to unreliable cabling. These two piece cat6a ftp rj45 plugs are suitable for use only with cat6a solid core cable. Two standard rj45 pinouts define the arrangement of the individual eight wires needed when attaching connectors to a cable. These two piece cat6a ftp rj45 plugs are suitable for use only with cat6a solid core cable they are sold individually and compatible with our universal rj45 crimp tool.

The punch down blocks on patch panel and wall. Most rj45 connectors use 2 prongs which penetrate the conductor itself. Plugs designed for solid and stranded core are readily available and some vendors even offer plugs designed for use with both types. They are sold individually and compatible with our universal rj45 crimp tool.

Connectors need to be designed differently for solid core than for stranded. Solid cables are less useful when terminating with standard rj45 connectors as used when making patch cables. Both follow a convention of coating individual wires in one of five colors brown green orange blue or white with certain stripe and solid combinations.
