Product Information

Full details

This kenable Cat5e cable is designed for users needing a flexible network connection in tight spaces or where a specific port angle is required. Its main benefit is providing a reliable Cat5e connection with the added advantage of an angled connector to reduce strain and improve cable management. A potential caveat is that the specific angle (up or down) is determined by the port's orientation, which may not suit all configurations.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the right-angled connector?

The right-angled connector is designed for use in tight spaces, reducing cable strain and improving cable management by allowing the cable to run parallel to the connected device or wall.

Does the cable support Gigabit Ethernet speeds?

Yes, as a Cat5e rated cable, it supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), provided the connected devices and network infrastructure also support these speeds.

Can I choose whether the cable angles up or down?

The direction of the angle (up or down) is determined by the orientation of the RJ-45 port on your device. If the latch tab on the port points up, the cable will angle down, and vice-versa.

What does 'UTP' mean?

UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It is the standard construction for Cat5e cables and is suitable for most common networking environments.

What is the conductor size?

The cable features a 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductor size, which balances flexibility with signal integrity for Cat5e performance.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 3 meters.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Shielded cables (STP or FTP) are used in environments with high electromagnetic interference.

Troubleshooting

No network connection.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check if the cable is damaged. Test with a known working cable.

Slow network speeds.

Verify the cable is Cat5e certified and not damaged. Ensure connected devices and network infrastructure also support desired speeds (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet). Check for interference from other cables or devices.

Cable does not fit the port correctly.

Confirm you are using an RJ-45 connector. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly before attempting to insert. Do not force the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for limited space installations.
  • Reduces cable strain and potential port damage.
  • Supports standard networking speeds (Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet).
  • Durable construction with injection moulded connectors.
  • Flexible routing options due to the angled connector.

Cons

  • The direction of the angle (up or down) is fixed and depends on the port orientation.
  • Not suitable for environments requiring shielded cabling (e.g., high EMI areas).
  • May not be compatible with all network switches or routers if the right-angle connector causes physical conflicts.
  • Limited to 3 meters, which may be too short for some applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable features a Plug and Play design. Simply connect the straight RJ-45 connector to your network source (e.g., router, switch) and the right-angled RJ-45 connector to your device (e.g., computer, gaming console). Ensure the connector clicks securely into place.

Compatibility: The cable adheres to the Cat5e standard, making it compatible with all devices supporting Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). It uses standard RJ-45 connectors, ensuring compatibility with most networking equipment.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and physical damage.
