Can you use Duct Tape for Ethernet Cat6 Cable?
Duct tape is nonconductive, and is not CAT6. If you have a damaged CAT6 cable, you could put duct tape over the damaged area, but there is no guaruntee the damage won't cause the cable to underperform (your network may not work at 1Ghz).
What the problem if the cat6 cable is not twisted?
If the cat6 cable is not twisted then the data can interference from other electomagnetic waves.if twisted the pair its cancell the positive and negative charges with opposit direction.
