No. This cable is for indoor use and is not rated for outdoor environments or POE power requirements.
CCA stands for Copper-Clad Aluminium, which refers to the type of conductor material used inside the cable.
Yes, as long as your router has a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port, this cable will connect to it.
Yes, it is designed for Gigabit networking and supports data transmission speeds up to 1000Mbps.
CCA conductors have higher resistance than solid copper, which can lead to overheating or voltage drops when carrying electrical power to devices.
Ensure both ends are firmly seated in the RJ-45 ports; try unplugging and re-plugging the cable to reset the physical connection.
Check the cable for physical damage, kinks, or sharp bends. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to heavy-duty power lines that may cause EMI.
Verify if your device requires POE. This cable uses CCA and is not compatible with POE applications; you must use a solid copper cable for these devices.
To install, simply plug the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a secure click. To maintain the cable's longevity, avoid bending the cord at sharp angles or placing heavy furniture on top of it. Ensure that your connected devices do not require POE, as the CCA construction is not rated for the power requirements of devices like wireless access points or security cameras. Keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp metal edges to prevent insulation damage.
