Product Information

Full details

This 1.5m black kenable CAT6 UTP Ethernet RJ45 extension cable is designed for users needing to extend existing network connections. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable gigabit speed extension for devices like PCs, TVs, IP cameras, and gaming consoles, without requiring a full cable run. A potential caveat is that maximum speeds are dependent on the overall network infrastructure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This is a CAT6 cable and supports speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). However, the actual speed achieved depends on your network's overall capability and the devices connected.

Can I use this cable with a CAT5e Ethernet cable?

Yes, this CAT6 extension cable is backward compatible and can be used with CAT5e and CAT6a cables.

What devices is this cable suitable for?

It is suitable for extending network connections for PCs, laptops, TVs, IP CCTV cameras, VOIP phones, PoE devices, and games consoles, provided they have an RJ45 Ethernet port.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) CAT6 cable. While it offers good performance for most home and office environments, shielded cables offer better protection against interference in extremely noisy electrical environments.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the RJ45 connectors. For stubborn dirt, a lightly dampened cloth with water can be used, ensuring the connector is completely dry before re-inserting.

Will this cable work for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?

Yes, this CAT6 UTP Ethernet cable can be used for PoE devices, as it supports the necessary data transfer speeds and power delivery capabilities common for such applications.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after plugging in

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Test the original Ethernet cable without the extension to verify its functionality. Check that your router and device are powered on and configured correctly.

Slow network speeds

Verify that both the connected device and the network infrastructure (router, main cable) support gigabit speeds. Ensure the extension cable is not damaged. Try connecting directly to the router to rule out other network bottlenecks. Clean the RJ45 connectors for both the extension and the original cable.

Intermittent connection drops

Check for any physical damage to the extension cable or its connectors. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Try a different port on your router or device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for demanding applications.
  • Utilizes full copper for enhanced signal quality.
  • Easy to use as a plug-and-play extension solution.
  • Compatible with a wide range of networking devices.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.

Cons

  • Speed is limited by the slowest component in the network chain.
  • Being an extension cable, it adds a potential point of failure compared to a single, continuous cable.
  • UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) may be less resistant to interference than shielded alternatives in highly noisy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the female RJ45 end of the extension cable into your existing Ethernet cable and connect the male RJ45 end to your device. Ensure both connections are secure.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port and any standard CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a Ethernet cable. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps network speeds, backward compatible with older standards.

Care: Keep the cable and its connectors clean and dry. Avoid excessive bending or pulling. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Regularly check connections for dust or debris that could impede performance.
