figure out from the cable which one it is. Does the type of RJ45
matter. I read up somewhere that I need to buy the right one depending
on solid or stranded.
So in a structured wiring scenario(home), what kind of cable is used.
What kind of RJ45 jack should I buy?
This is what I see on the wire
CAT5 350MHz 4PR 24 E175106 (UL) CM OR C(UL).
Please help.

Just strip a bit of 1 conductor and see for yourself. Generally, solid
is used to make runs throughout the building and stranded is used for
the cable that runs from the outlet to the PC. Stranded is much more
pliable, allowing it to bend more easily w/o breaking. Stranded is more
expensive and not typically found in a Home Depot or Lowes. |
