Networking cable - Cables Direct - Cat5e

This Cat5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) and is designed for frequencies up to 100 MHz.

While some Cat5e cables can technically support Gigabit Ethernet under ideal conditions, this UTP cable is primarily rated and recommended for speeds up to 100 Mbps. For guaranteed Gigabit speeds, a Cat6 or higher cable is recommended.

No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP) cable. It relies on the twisted pair design to reduce interference.

The URT-602K features stranded conductors, which provide greater flexibility and are easier to route and handle, making it suitable for patch cords.

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 26 AWG is a common size for flexible patch cables.

Information regarding specific warranty details is typically found on the manufacturer's official website or the product packaging. Please refer to Cables Direct for precise warranty terms.

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Test the cable with a different known working device or try a different Ethernet cable to rule out a faulty cable. Ensure network adapter drivers are up to date on your computer.

Check the cable for any visible damage such as cuts or frayed insulation. Ensure the cable is not excessively long for the required run, as performance can degrade over longer distances. Verify that your router and connected devices support the expected speeds.

Confirm the cable is fully seated in the port on both ends. Try a different port on your switch or router. Test with another Cat5e cable to determine if the issue lies with the cable or the port/device.
