I have to respectfully disagree.
Cat5/5e/6 cable is made with very small diameter solid wire.
Kinking of any sort can't be good and at higher network speeds does show up.
For Roger,
Cat6 is different than Cat5/e.
Bigger conductors, tighter twist in the pairs, certified to 250Mhz and
10Gig speeds.
Same distance restrictions apply, 100m (330ft) for a horizontal run.
When we wired the building at my former employer we used Fiber and
plenum rated Cat6 exclusively.
