They are the same.  It's basically the quality of the cables that changed.  You don't need to worry about compatibility.

I am doing a bit of home networking and I need some cable crimpers.  I am using cat 6 cable, and the crimper I am buying https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UY5WL0/ref=crt_ewc_title_huc_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A397FHERGRZQ2E , says it comes with cat 5/cat 5e crimp connectors.  Do the connectors themselves need to be cat 6 compliant?  I would think they are the same because the wires are the same, but i'm not sure.

I can help with programming and hardware.
