Product Information

Full details

The 5 Star RJ45 Cat6 network cable is designed for home and office users who require reliable, high-speed data connectivity for standard networking equipment like computers, routers, and switches. This 2-meter cable offers efficient data transmission for typical local network tasks; however, it is important to note that it uses Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) conductors, which makes it unsuitable for high-power demanding scenarios like Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable for my security camera that uses PoE?

No. This cable uses CCA conductors and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

As a Cat6 cable, it is rated to support gigabit networking speeds for typical local area network tasks.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.

Can I use this outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause the outer jacket and internal conductors to degrade rapidly.

Does the cable length affect the speed?

At 2 meters, the cable is well within the standard operating limits for Cat6, so it will provide optimal performance without speed loss.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure the cable is firmly clicked into the RJ45 port and test the device with a different known-working port.

Slow connection speed

Check that the cable is not bent, crushed, or damaged, as internal wire damage can degrade performance.

Device connected via PoE is not powering on

The cable uses CCA conductors and is not designed for PoE; you must use a pure copper cable for Power over Ethernet applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed gigabit performance for standard data transfers
  • Standard RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility
  • Ideal length for desktop or small office setups
  • Reliable signal transmission for everyday internet browsing and file sharing

Cons

  • Not suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
  • CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) construction is less durable than pure copper
  • Limited to a 2-meter range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Simply insert the RJ45 plug into the port on your networking device until you hear a audible 'click'.
  2. Compatibility: Compatible with all standard RJ45 ports found on modems, routers, switches, and network-enabled computers.
  3. Care Instructions: To extend the life of the cable, avoid sharp bends or kinking the wire. Keep the cable away from direct heat sources and moisture. Do not pull on the cable itself when disconnecting; always hold the connector head to remove it from the port.
