Product Information
Full details
The kenable Cat6 Ethernet network cable is an ideal networking solution for home and office users seeking stable Gigabit connectivity for PCs, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and IP CCTV systems. Engineered with 24 AWG bare copper, this cable excels in reducing crosstalk and system noise compared to older Cat5 standards, though its 2-meter fixed length may limit deployment in large, open-concept rooms.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cable compatible with my old Cat5 router?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e devices.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use and does not have the necessary UV or moisture protection for outdoor deployment.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (POE)?
Yes, the use of full 24 AWG copper cores makes this cable suitable for supporting POE devices.
What is the maximum speed this cable can handle?
It is rated for Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 250 MHz, providing high performance for most home and small office networks.
Are the connectors shielded?
This is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it relies on its internal wire twists rather than a metal shield to manage interference.
Troubleshooting
No network connection detected
Ensure both ends of the cable are firmly clicked into their respective ports and check that the device's network adapter is enabled.
Intermittent signal or slow speeds
Check the cable for physical damage or sharp kinks. If damage is found, the cable should be replaced to maintain data integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality full copper cores for reliable connectivity
- Backward compatible with existing Cat5 and Cat5e infrastructure
- Moulded connectors for increased durability and strain relief
- Supports POE devices and intensive network hardware
Cons
- Fixed 2-meter length may be too short for some room layouts
- UTP design lacks additional shielding against extreme electromagnetic interference
- Bright red color may not match all professional or minimalist aesthetics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This cable is "plug-and-play." Simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a audible click. It is fully backward compatible, meaning it will function perfectly when plugged into older Cat5 or Cat5e routers, switches, or wall ports. To maintain the cable's lifespan, avoid sharp bends or heavy objects resting on the line, as this can compress the twisted pairs and degrade performance. If the cable becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners on the connectors.
