This kenable 007226 Cat5e Ethernet cable is designed for reliable home and office network connectivity. It's ideal for connecting devices like PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players to your router or network. While offering a lightweight and flexible design due to its Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) construction, users should be aware that CCA may offer slightly lower performance and durability compared to pure copper cables, especially over longer distances or in high-interference environments. Key features include its 0.25m length, RJ45 connectors, and Cat5e UTP standard.

Cat5e stands for Category 5e. It is an enhanced version of Cat5 and supports network speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), making it suitable for most modern home and office networking needs.
CCA stands for Copper-Clad Aluminium. This cable uses aluminium wires coated with copper. While it makes the cable lighter and cheaper, CCA generally has higher resistance than pure copper, which can lead to slightly reduced signal quality and reliability, especially over longer distances or in environments with high electromagnetic interference. It's generally not recommended for Power over Ethernet (PoE).
No, this cable is U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). It lacks an outer shield to protect against electromagnetic interference, which is typical for standard, short-run networking cables.
Yes, this cable is suitable for connecting gaming consoles to your network or router, provided they are in close proximity (within 0.25 meters). It supports the necessary network speeds for online gaming.
While the Cat5e standard is designed for up to 100 meters, CCA cables, due to their higher resistance, are generally best kept to shorter runs (e.g., under 50 meters) for optimal performance. This specific cable is only 0.25 meters, so length is not an issue for its intended use.
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. If there is stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth (water only) can be used, ensuring the connector is completely dry before plugging it in.
No, Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) cables like this one are not recommended for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. PoE requires pure copper conductors to safely and efficiently deliver power along with data.
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the device and the router/switch. Try a different Ethernet port on your router or switch. Test the cable with a different device if possible. Check that network adapters on your devices are enabled.
Verify the cable is properly seated. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the connected device and router port support Gigabit speeds. For CCA cables, consider interference from nearby electrical devices or the use of a pure copper cable if issues persist, especially on longer runs (though this cable is very short).
The locking tab on the RJ45 connector may be damaged. Inspect the connector; if damaged, the cable may need replacement. Ensure you are using the correct type of Ethernet port.
