Can I use Cat6A installation cable with these sockets?

Yes, provided the Cat6A cable conductors are within the module's supported 22–26AWG range and the cable can be dressed into the outlet without excessive strain. The RJ45 module itself is Cat6, however, so fitting Cat6A cable does not make the completed link Cat6A; the link should be treated according to its lowest-category component.

Are these RJ45 data modules shielded? Can I use this module for PoE, PoE+ or PoE++? Can I get 1Gbps through the Cat5e version? Will the Cat6 outlet run at Gigabit speed?
