Are these RJ45 Cat5e sockets Powerlink compatible

I'm am busy remodeling my living room. I want to build in as many cables as possible and plan to buy a length of un-terminated cable and connecting it to these sockets and then use 8pin to RJ45 cables to connect.

I have 8pin to 8pin Powerlink cables which I will cut and terminate with RJ45 plugs. Basically it will be a simple Powerlink cable but built in and hidden.

I would consider investing in a Cat7 infrastructure, even though it may be more expensive (being very future proof). With regards to the Cat socket, definitely get sockets that have shielding! Also, check out this document: http://beointegration.com/uploaded/EN-BeoLink-handbook-v1-7.pdf It outlines how to properly create the adapters you need. 

I’ve got a mix of Cat5e and Cat6 cabling and I haven’t noticed a difference. I’ve also got a mix of homemade connectors and B&O cable adapters with same results. I’m running Beolab 6000 & 8000s as well as a Beosound 9000 via the adapters and in-wall cables to a Beosystem 3 and it all works well.

Beotex, 

That sounds very similar to my setup. I'll have Beosound 9000, Beosystem 3 and four Beolab 3's in the room and just want to hide the cables. I could just run long Powerlink cables under the floor but wanted to make it look a bit more professional. Nice to hear you have used a mixture of B&O cables and homemade connectors.

I have the same setup en things are working smoothly. In the end I decided to go mainly for CAT6A shielded cables to assure my home network is sufficient future proof and can withstand interfering signals. One step further is CAT7, but I think that pending the distance you have to bridge, CAT6A is normally more than adequate for residential buildings.

For audio lines I also used the B&O power links. Partly ready made by B&O en partly with high quality RJ45 plugs made myself.

Please be aware that the former master link and the various types of power link (including those with RJ45 plugs)  is of good quality and suitable for audio. CAT5 cable is not created for such usage. So please do your self a favour, buy a good quality cable and RJ45 plugs.

Cat7 is definitely overkill, but you never know what the future brings so it may be worth putting in the best cable while you are at it. However, basically any cat cable (if it has shielding) is suitable!
