Can you use a coupler with cat5 and a cat6 cable conjoining them two? Or at least manually solder the different colored wires together?

One of the differences between CAT5 and CAT6 is the wire/shielding size so if you use CAT5 in a CAT6 connector or vice versa then you might not get a good connection.
