Product Information

Full details

The kenable Flat Cat 6 Ethernet cable is designed for users who need a high-speed, reliable gigabit connection in tight or restricted spaces. This 6-meter cable offers the high performance of pure copper conductors in a discreet, ultra-thin profile that fits easily under carpets or floorboards. While it provides excellent flexibility and signal integrity for standard home or office networking, its thin design requires careful handling to avoid sharp bends or heavy foot traffic damage.

FAQs

Can this cable be used with Cat 5 devices?

Yes, this Cat 6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e hardware.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

It supports Gigabit speeds up to 1000Mbps.

Can I run this cable under a heavy carpet?

Yes, its 1.4mm profile is perfect for under-carpet routing, though it is best to avoid high-traffic areas where it could be crushed.

Is the copper used pure or clad?

This cable features high-grade full copper conductors for superior performance.

What is the length of this specific cable?

This cable is 6 meters long.

Troubleshooting

Slow connection speed or intermittent signal

Check that both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in the ports. Ensure the cable has not been pinched, knotted, or bent at a sharp angle.

Link light does not turn on

Test the device with a different known-working Ethernet cable to confirm the port or device is not the culprit. Inspect the RJ45 ends for bent pins.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-thin profile for invisible cable management
  • High-grade pure copper ensures reliable Gigabit speeds
  • Easy to install under carpets and along wall edges
  • Backward compatible with existing Cat 5 hardware
  • RoHS compliant construction

Cons

  • Flat design is more susceptible to damage from sharp kinks
  • Not suitable for high-traffic areas where heavy objects might roll over the cable
  • 6-meter length may be too long for some desktop applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into any standard Ethernet port on your modem, switch, or networking device until you hear a click. Because this is a flat cable, avoid pulling it tightly around 90-degree corners, as this can stress the internal wiring.

Care Tips:

  • Avoid folding the cable sharply; use gentle curves to turn corners.
  • Secure the cable using flat adhesive clips if running along baseboards.
  • Although durable, avoid placing heavy furniture legs directly on the cable to prevent internal fiber deformation.
  • The cable is compatible with all devices using standard RJ45 networking interfaces, including PCs, laptops, game consoles, and routers.
