Ensure the cable is firmly clicked into the RJ45 port and verify the port on your hardware is active.
Check your router, switch, and network adapter settings to ensure they support the higher speeds you are trying to achieve.
Check if the RJ45 port on the device is damaged or worn; try a different port on the switch or router.
To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into any standard Ethernet port on your router, modem, switch, or computer until you hear a click. This cable is fully backwards compatible with older RJ45-based hardware, meaning it will function with Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 systems. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid bending the wire at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can damage the internal shielding. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the cable is not pinched by heavy furniture or door frames.
