Las categorías 5e y 6 introducen la interoperabilidad para los sistemas de cableado a fin de garantizar que los usuarios finales puedan montar componentes 5e y 6 de diferentes fabricantes y aun así conseguir un canal completo de categoría 5e y 6.
Para garantizar el rendimiento de dichos canales, la normativa establece las características de cada componente, en concreto las del cable RJ45 que son una parte importante del canal.
Extract from TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1
Telecommunications cabling, once specified uniquely for each telecommunications application, has evolved into a generic cabling system. Telecommunications applications now use ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B1 to specify their cabling requirements. This has resulted in the continued developpement of high-speed applications and demonstrated the need for improved transmission performance and higher categories of twisted pair cabling.
The requirements in this standard are for 10 Homs category 6 balanced twisted pair cabling systems and components. Category 6 cabling provides higher performance than category 5e and recognizes advances in cabling technology. Category 6 shall be backward compatible with categories 3, 5 and 5e as specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.1 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2. Application running on the lower category cabling shall be supported by category 6. For category 6, the 8 positions modular jack interface shall maintained at the telecommunications outlet connector in the work area. If different category components are to mixed with category 6 components, then the combination shall meet the transmission requirements of the lower performing category. See table1 for matrix of mated components performance representative of backward compatibility. To ensure generic cabling system performance, components are specified to support interoperability when products from different manufacturers are mated.

Transmission performance depends upon the characteristics of the cable, connecting hardware, cords and cross-connect jumpers, the total number of connections, and the care in which they are installed and maintained. This Standard includes laboratory and field test configurations and procedures that can be used to verify the components, cabling, and installation will meet this new specification.
6-3 Cords
Patch cords, requirement cords, and work area cords used for system moves, ads, and change are critical transmission performance. Category 6 cords and cordage shall meet the applicable requirements of clause 6.1 through 6.3 of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2 and clause 7.2.1.3 and 7.4.4 of this standard.
