This 5 Star Gigabit network cable provides reliable high-performance connectivity for your network...This 5 Star Gigabit network cable provides reliable high-performance connectivity for your networking needs. Built to Cat6 specifications, the cable features four unshielded twisted pairs and is designed for efficient data transmission. It comes with a 2-meter length, making it suitable for various home or office setups. Please note that this cable utilizes CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) conductors and is not recommended for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
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).

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
Setup: Simply insert the RJ45 plug into the port on your networking device until you hear a audible 'click'.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard RJ45 ports found on modems, routers, switches, and network-enabled computers.
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.
