Product Information

Full details

The connektgear CAT6 2m network cable is designed for home and office users who require reliable, high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for computers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. It offers a perfect balance of durability and slim-profile design, making it an excellent choice for crowded patch panels and tight spaces; however, at two meters, it is primarily intended for short-range connections rather than long-distance routing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

CAT6 cables typically support PoE, though this specific cable is rated for standard data transmission.

Is this cable shielded from interference?

This is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it relies on wire twisting rather than foil shielding to reduce interference.

Can I use this for outdoor installations?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure can degrade the jacket and connector pins.

Is it backward compatible with CAT5 or CAT5e?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with older networking standards.

What does LSZH stand for?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which produces less toxic smoke in the event of a fire.

Troubleshooting

Device shows 'Network Cable Unplugged' error

Ensure the RJ-45 connector is fully seated until it clicks. Check both the device port and the router/switch port for debris.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that both connected devices support Gigabit Ethernet. Ensure no other hardware in the path is limited to 10/100 speeds.

Intermittent connectivity

Inspect the cable jacket for signs of crushing or deep cuts. Test with a different port on the router to rule out switch-side issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim profile ideal for high-density patch panels
  • Enhanced durability with snagless boot protection
  • Supports full 1Gbps Gigabit speeds
  • Flexible LSZH jacket for safer, easier installation

Cons

  • Fixed 2m length limits placement options
  • Not suitable for long-distance runs
  • U/UTP shielding may be susceptible to heavy electromagnetic interference in industrial settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is simple due to the Plug and Play functionality; simply insert the RJ-45 male connector into any standard Gigabit Ethernet port until it clicks. To ensure maximum longevity:

  • Avoid Sharp Bends: While the cable is flexible, avoid kinking it at sharp angles to prevent internal conductor damage.
  • Proper Disconnection: Always press the snagless boot/clip fully before pulling the cable from a port to prevent damage to the locking tab.
  • Environment: Use within standard indoor temperature ranges. The LSZH material makes it safer for use in home offices or areas with limited ventilation.
