Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

While the cable is durable, it is designed primarily for data transmission. Check your device specifications to see if it supports the power requirements over Cat 5e.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to moisture and UV light will damage the PVC sheath.

Is the cable shielded?

Yes, it features F/UTP (FTP) shielding to help prevent external electromagnetic interference.

What happens if the cable is too long for my needs?

You can bundle the excess length using cable ties or Velcro straps to keep your area organized, but avoid folding the cable into tight loops.

Are the connectors compatible with older routers?

Yes, the standard RJ-45 connectors are backward compatible with almost all network hardware that uses Ethernet ports.

What is the maximum speed I can expect?

This cable supports up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) under optimal conditions.

Troubleshooting

No network signal detected

Verify that both RJ-45 connectors are fully seated in the ports and try unplugging and re-inserting them to ensure a proper connection.

Intermittent connection drops

Check the cable for any sharp kinks or physical damage, and ensure it is not running parallel to power cables, which can cause interference.

Slow transfer speeds

Ensure that both the source device (e.g., router) and the destination device (e.g., PC) support Gigabit speeds and are not restricted by local network settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent reach for long-distance device connectivity
  • Supports Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000 Mbit/s)
  • Shielded design reduces data interference
  • Simple Plug and Play installation
  • Highly durable construction with a 10-year warranty

Cons

  • 20-meter length may be too long for some setups, causing cable clutter
  • Limited to 100 MHz frequency compared to Cat 6 or Cat 7 cables
  • Grey color may not match all home decor aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the cable, simply align the RJ-45 connector with the Ethernet port on your device until you hear a click, indicating a secure lock. The cable is compatible with all devices featuring standard RJ-45 ports, including PCs, notebooks, smart TVs, switches, and hubs. To ensure the longevity of the cable, avoid bending the wire at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can damage the internal twists. When storing or routing the cable, ensure it is not pinched under furniture or stretched tightly across high-traffic walkways to prevent external sheath damage.
