Dear Asif,
No Category 6 cables and connectors are fully back wards compatible to Category 5 & 5e. I suspect that you may have a termination problem either physical or proper pairing of the cables. Recheck and test your cables for proper paired continuity to T568 standards.
Sincerely,
Joseph Golan, RCDD
