Can I use Cat 6 plus in place of the Cat 5 E that came in the kit? Botched one of my cuts and think I am going to come up short. I Have a bunch of Cat 6 Plus I could use.

Is it shielded? Solid core?

Yes you can if it's shielded.

Not shielded, I would only be using it on the twisted pair runs

Oh, for the runs that aren't in the outer jacket it should be fine.
