I was in a local computer store where I overheard a sales person discussing Cat 6 cable runs with a customer. He was telling the customer that he recommends using solid Cat 6 cable for long runs and wall fishing and stranded Cat 6 cable for patch cables.
Now I know the difference between the two types of cables and their RJ45 connectors, but this got me thinking, is there really a difference as to where these two types of cable should be run? (Not discussing plenum cable here.) Personally when I run cable it's always been solid regardless of whether it's a long run or a short patch cable and I have never once had a problem or an issue. I Googled for a definitive answer but could not find one, so, my question to all is, is there a difference as to where these two cable types should be run?
