Product Information

Full details

The Kenable Cat6 Ethernet Cable is a professional-grade networking solution designed for installers, IT technicians, and home network enthusiasts looking to build high-performance, gigabit-speed infrastructure. It excels at delivering stable connectivity for demanding applications like POE, VOIP, and CCTV thanks to its reliable 24AWG copper conductors. While its 305m bulk reel format is perfect for custom-length patch leads and long-distance runs, individual users should note that this cable requires additional RJ45 connectors and a crimping tool for deployment.

FAQs

Can this cable be used for outdoor runs?

This cable is designed for internal use. If installing outdoors, it should be pulled through protective conduit to protect it from moisture and UV exposure.

What is the maximum distance for Gigabit speeds?

As per standard Cat6 specifications, the maximum recommended length for reliable Gigabit data transmission is 100 meters.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (POE)?

Yes, the 24AWG copper conductors are capable of carrying power to POE-enabled devices like IP cameras and VOIP phones.

Are RJ45 connectors included?

No, this is a bulk 305m cable reel and does not include connectors or crimping tools.

Is this a Solid or Stranded cable?

This is a stranded cable, which is highly flexible and best suited for making patch leads rather than long-distance permanent structural cabling.

Troubleshooting

Slow network speeds

Check your termination; improper contact with the RJ45 pins or excessive untwisting of pairs near the connector can cause speed degradation.

Device not receiving power (POE)

Ensure all eight conductors are correctly crimped into the RJ45 plug and that the total cable length does not exceed 100 meters.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for physical damage, such as kinks or cuts, and verify that the crimped plugs are firmly seated in the network port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility for easier installation in tight corners
  • Supports modern high-bandwidth standards like POE and VOIP
  • Bulk packaging minimizes waste for large projects
  • Reliable high-speed performance up to 1000Mbps

Cons

  • Requires crimping tools and RJ45 plugs for use
  • Stranded cable is optimized for patch leads rather than permanent long-distance wall runs
  • Bulk reel requires careful cable management to prevent tangles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this bulk cable, you will need to cut the desired length, strip back the outer jacket, and terminate the inner pairs into appropriate RJ45 modular plugs using a standard crimping tool. Ensure you maintain the twist of the pairs as close to the termination point as possible to keep your network certification standards intact.

For maintenance, keep the cable away from high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. While durable, avoid sharp bends or heavy crushing, as physical damage to the internal copper conductors can lead to intermittent connection drops or reduced throughput. Always use a cable tester after termination to confirm wire mapping and continuity.
