FAQs

What is the benefit of the FTP shielding?

FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring a more stable and reliable connection, especially in environments with potential interference sources.

Can I bury this cable underground?

Yes, this cable is suitable for burying underground, provided proper installation practices are followed to protect the cable from damage and moisture.

What is the AWG of the wire?

The wire size is 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge).

What is the purpose of the drain wire?

The drain wire allows for earthing, which helps to dissipate electrical interference and protect the equipment.

What connectors should I use with this cable?

Use shielded RJ45 connectors for optimal performance and protection from interference.

How do I clean the cable?

Wipe the cable with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this cable can be used for PoE applications, but ensure your power supply and devices meet the PoE standards.

What is the maximum length of this cable?

The cable comes in 50m, 100m and 305m reels.

Troubleshooting

Network connection issues or slow speeds.

Check the cable connections at both ends. Verify that the cable is properly terminated with RJ45 connectors. Make sure the cable is not damaged. Ensure the network devices support Gigabit Ethernet. Check for interference sources near the cable and reroute if necessary.

Cable is not providing a signal.

Check that the cable is correctly connected at both ends. Use a cable tester to ensure the cable is not damaged. Verify the RJ45 connectors are correctly wired. Test the cable with a different device to isolate the issue.

Intermittent connection.

Inspect the cable for any physical damage. Make sure the connectors are securely attached. Check for sources of EMI and move the cable away from them. Re-terminate the cable ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable design for outdoor environments.
  • Shielding minimizes interference.
  • Supports high-speed data transfer.
  • Easy to install.
  • Full copper conductors ensure good conductivity.

Cons

  • Requires proper grounding for optimal performance.
  • Can be more expensive than standard cables.
  • Installation may require specific tools.
  • Cable needs to be handled carefully during installation to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Planning: Determine the cable route and measure the required length. Add extra length for connectors and any potential obstacles.
  2. Installation: Run the cable, ensuring it is securely fastened and protected from physical damage. Avoid sharp bends.
  3. Terminating: Terminate the cable with RJ45 connectors. Use shielded connectors for best performance.
  4. Grounding: Connect the drain wire to a proper grounding point at both ends of the cable for optimal protection and performance.

Compatibility

The kenable Cat6 FTP cable is compatible with:

  • Gigabit Ethernet devices
  • Network switches, routers, and other network devices
  • RJ45 connectors

Care

  • Avoid Sharp Bends: Do not bend the cable excessively, as this can damage the internal conductors.
  • Protect from Physical Damage: Secure the cable to prevent it from being stepped on, run over, or exposed to sharp objects.
  • Regular Inspection: Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of damage, such as cuts or abrasions. Replace damaged cables immediately.
  • Environmental Protection: Ensure that the cable is protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, which can degrade the outer sheath over time.
