To wire a Cat5e jack correctly, follow these steps:
To wire a Cat5e jack, you need to strip the outer insulation of the Cat5e cable, separate the twisted pairs of wires, and then insert them into the appropriate color-coded slots on the jack. Use a punch-down tool to secure the wires in place. Finally, test the connection to ensure it is working properly.
To wire a phone jack correctly, first, strip the outer insulation of the phone cable. Then, connect the colored wires to the corresponding terminals on the phone jack, usually red to red and green to green. Finally, secure the wires in place and test the connection to ensure it is working properly.

You can use the Cat6 in place of the Cat5e but not the other way around. It is a higher rating than the Cat5e.
To wire Cat5 patch panels, it is done similarly to the way a regular Cat 5 panel is. You should make sure everything is connected correclty, hook it to the device, and the wall.
A cat5e should work up to 1 gig. Cat6 is optimal but more expensive and harder to wire.
UTP is unshielded. Cheaper. STP is shielded.. more expensive.
No, the hot wire should not be connected to the ground wire in an electrical circuit.
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
You would use a Cat5e Ethernet Wire....if no network switch is present then it may need to be a Reverse Network wire which is also known as a Crossover Wire. This means that the Orange and Green wire pairs are Reversed/Cossed Over on 1 end of the wire. Many modern devices will operate without requiring a crossover cable.
Attach one end of the wire SECURELY to a fence post. At the other end, lower the jack to its lowest point, and place the jack parallel to the ground, with the butt resting against a fence post. SOME jacks have a wire stretcher jaw- if so, clamp the wire in the jaw. Others will require the wire to be hooked over the jack point. Pump the jack while holding the base against the post- when taut, have a helper secure the wire with staples.
