Chris,
I am using the Shireen Double Shielded Cat6 on my towers and really like it.
We use the following connector. Platinum Tools 106190. We are using our
standard crimps with it and have had no problems with the cable
certifying correctly first time. The crimps are the standard ones from
Skywalker.

I just picked up some Shireen DC-2021 Cat6 cable, thinking I would
start using Cat6 for my Mimosa installations (as suggested).
It turns out, the individual insulation is too big for any of my RJ45
ends, and the jacket is also too big. Now, I'm looking at Cat6A
connectors (that have a staggered insert and a full shield). Next, I
will need a new crimper that does not crush the shield on the Cat6A
connector.
Anyhow, it seems like a lot of work to use Cat6 where some ToughCable
and basic shielded RJ45 connectors might be functionally equivalent.
Should I be seriously considering Cat6? When did you decide Cat6 was
worth it?
