It is important to handle this cable properly

When purchasing this cable it is important to know what you are working with. This is a large gauge Cat6+ cable with a number of important features. First, it has a cross-shaped plastic separator that runs the length of the cable to keep the four pairs of wires in proper alignment and separation. This is part of the design, but means that you almost certainly can't strip the outer jacket with a crimping tool designed for Cat5/5e cables without severing at least one of the conductors. Unless you have a cutter/stripper specifically designed for Cat6/6+ cable, plan to carefully cut the outer jacket with a sharp knife and remove it by hand. Also, of course, you'll need to cut the center spacer before you can route the wires. The rigidity of the large section conductors facilitates the correct insertion of the cable into the RJ45 connector. It's easy to put on. So, know what you are dealing with, be careful and have fun.
