Will this cable handle Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes. Gigabit Ethernet is within the normal capability of a Cat6 channel, provided the rest of the cabling and equipment are suitable.

Is this a proper Cat6 cable or just an RJ45 lead sold as Cat6? Can I use one of these for 10 Gigabit Ethernet? Does the external PE version perform differently from the normal patch leads? What about 2.5 Gigabit or 5 Gigabit Ethernet?
