I have seen some cheap "CAT5/6" jumper cables designed to hook the
network device to the jack in the wall, that were purchased on E-Bay.
Nuff said. I suspect they were made with stranded conductor wire which
is NOT spec. They were just a little too flexible.
Cable made by Anixter, Avaya, and Belden are top notch, Anixter tests
every batch for compliance with the applicable RFC. I'll bet Avaya and
Belden do too. Problem is you've got to buy 1,000'.

Just like NOT all HF+6 radios are alike... Buy "Elecraft" quality
CAT-5e cables, and you shouldn't have to worry about it. Unless you're
worried about signal leakage arounf or above the design frequency of
near about 300 MHz.
If y'all really want to know the concrete vs. spec diffs in Cat-5e to
CAT-6, again... I will outline them to you...
Cannot imagine what kind of wire you think was 2-pair and Cat-5....
Only POTS wire is usally seen as 2 pair... and I'm pretty sure it is not
twisted pair... Even CAT-3 is 3-pair...
Whatever works for you, though.
