Hello! For your renovation, you’ll want a standard keystone for Cat 6 cabling. As for bandwidth, Cat 6 can handle up to 10 Gbps.

Both options are readily available online, though the 10Gbit link you shared isn't relevant here.

The text describes how Cat6 cables have a more robust outer covering than Cat5e. It highlights that while standard Ethernet can cover distances up to 100 meters, Cat6 is limited to about 37-55 meters at 10 Gbps speeds. The thicker insulation helps reduce interference from nearby wires and improves performance in environments with higher signal overlap.

Cat6 wires handle 10 gigabit over 55 meters while Cat6a cables can do the same up to 100 meters. You might need a Cat6 keystone jack to fit them properly.

In short distances such as a room, it works. However, for wiring a house, the runs tend to be longer and I wouldn't recommend it. So no.

I didn't set the length. The maximum length of the two cable runs is 10 meters, which should work. What confused me was that the local store sold cat6 keystones labeled as cat6 1Gb, but I now understand they were offering cat6 10Gb. Thanks for the clarification!

It's not a perfect short distance.
