I’ve only ever installed Cat5 cabling.

I’ve got access to a real cable tester for Cat5, and it’s very rare for it to identify any problems. It’s so rare that a basic connectivity tester would be adequate in 99.99% of cases.

I was wondering if there’s anyone out there that works with Cat6 and uses the applicable test equipment? If there is, how hard is to get Cat6 correct?
 
So assuming you're careful it's rare for a cable analyser to pick up any problems?

Is it rare enough to be able to confidently install Cat6 without using a cable analyser? I could certify a Cat6 installation to Cat5 standards, but I haven’t got access to a Cat6 capable analyser.
