Product Information

Full details

The Loops CAT5e Ethernet Patch Cable is designed for users needing reliable network connectivity in tight spaces, such as behind furniture, in recessed wall ports, or within crowded server cabinets. This 2-meter cable offers consistent data transfer for PCs, gaming consoles, and AV equipment; however, its fixed right-angled orientation means it may not be suitable for ports where the orientation of the socket might cause the cable to point in an undesirable direction.

FAQs

Is this cable compatible with high-speed fiber internet?

Yes, it will transmit data from your router; however, for peak speeds on modern fiber connections, you may eventually require CAT6 or higher cables.

Can I use this for power-over-ethernet (PoE) devices?

This cable is designed for standard data distribution and is not specifically certified for high-wattage PoE applications.

What is the benefit of the right-angled connector?

It reduces the amount of space required behind a device, allowing for cleaner cable management and preventing damage to the port from excessive bending.

Is this a crossover or straight-through cable?

This is a standard straight-through patch cable.

How do I know if this is long enough?

The cable is 2 meters in length; measure the distance between your devices while allowing for cable slack to ensure it reaches comfortably without tension.

Troubleshooting

No network connection established

Ensure the connector is fully inserted and the locking tab has clicked into place.

Intermittent signal dropouts

Check that the cable is not bent at a sharp angle that puts physical pressure on the RJ45 port pins.

Connector will not fit in the port

Verify the orientation of the port; if the port is recessed or situated against a surface, you may need to rotate the device or choose a different cable orientation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for installation in tight spaces or against walls
  • High-quality moulded connectors prevent fraying
  • Twisted pair configuration minimizes signal interference
  • Durable PVC jacket withstands routine handling

Cons

  • Right-angled connectors have a fixed orientation
  • Limited to 2-meter length
  • Not suitable for high-speed CAT6a or CAT8 network requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is a plug-and-play, straight-through cable compatible with any standard RJ45 networking port. To install, simply align the right-angled connector with your device's port and push until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is oriented so that the cord feeds toward your desired path before snapping it into place, as the 90-degree bend is permanent. To maintain the cable, avoid sharp bending of the internal wires, and do not pull on the cord itself when removing it from a port; always grip the moulded connector housing. If the cable becomes dusty, wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth.
