The kenable 004729 is a 15-meter Cat5e UTP Ethernet cable designed for reliable home and office network connections. It's ideal for connecting devices like PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players to your router or network. While its Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) construction offers a lighter and more cost-effective solution, users should be aware that CCA may not offer the same conductivity as pure copper for very long runs or demanding applications. Key features include RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a durable black, UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) design.

Cat5e (Category 5e) is a standard for Ethernet cables that supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second). It is backward compatible with Cat5 and suitable for most home and small office networking needs.
CCA stands for Copper-Clad Aluminium. It uses an aluminium core with a thin copper coating. This construction makes the cable lighter and less expensive than pure copper cables, but it is less conductive, which can impact performance over longer distances.
No, this cable is U/UTP, which stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It offers basic protection against electromagnetic interference but is not suitable for highly noisy environments where shielded cables (like STP or FTP) would be necessary.
While some CCA cables can support PoE, it is generally not recommended, especially for higher power requirements. Pure copper cables are better suited for reliable PoE delivery. Check the specific power requirements of your PoE device.
Most network devices have indicator lights (often green and amber) next to the Ethernet port that show a physical link and data activity. If these lights are on and blinking, it indicates the cable is establishing a connection.
The standard maximum length for a Cat5e Ethernet cable is 100 meters (328 feet). However, performance can degrade with CCA cables closer to this limit, especially if the environment has significant electrical interference.
Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on your devices. Ensure the network adapter on your device is enabled and try restarting your router and connected device.
Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or kinked. Try a shorter, known-good cable to rule out cable performance issues. For longer runs, consider a pure copper cable if consistent high speeds are critical.
Confirm that the network drivers on your computer are up to date. Test the cable with different devices to isolate the issue to the cable, port, or device.
