When I got my termlab it came with Cat5 cables for each sensor, anyone know if they'll work the same with a Cat6 cable? I was offered a 25ft Cat6 cable for free, just wasn't sure if it was worth taking for use with my TL.

It should, cat6 specs are only used if you have 10/100/1000 card and gig switches. Cat6 can still be used in Cat5 applications.

Cool, I don't know anything about those cards or gig switches or the difference between either cable, just wanted to make sure they were close enough to use with a TL and have any problems with it.

Cat 6 is just capable of faster speeds, but like I said it just requires some other equip. Just wanted to share info on the diff!

It doesn't require other equipment when it comes to the Termlab.......you should be just fine.
Just don't try and use Cat 6 for low voltage lighting

Cat5 and Cat6 are basically the same except 6 will go faster when the technology comes out. From what I understand there's no computer speeds capable of "maxing out" a cat 6 cable..
