FAQs

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet applications.

Is this a shielded cable?

This is a U/UTP (Unshielded) cable, which is designed for standard office and home networking environments.

What is the maximum speed this cable can handle?

It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s (10Gbit).

Can I use this for outdoor connections?

No, this cable is intended for indoor use and is not rated for weather exposure or direct sunlight.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a cable jacket material that emits less smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, it features 50u gold-plated RJ45 connector contacts for superior signal quality.

Troubleshooting

Device displays 'Network Cable Unplugged' error.

Ensure the RJ-45 connector is fully inserted into the port until it clicks. Try the cable on a different port to rule out hardware failure.

Slow network speeds.

Verify that all components in your signal chain are rated for CAT6a performance. Check that the cable is not pinched or bent at an extreme angle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 10Gbit data transfer capability
  • Durable latch protection prevents clip snapping
  • Compact 0.25m length eliminates signal-degrading cable slack
  • Gold-plated contacts improve connection longevity
  • Safety-compliant LSZH jacket

Cons

  • Fixed 0.25m length is too short for long-reach applications
  • U/UTP shielding may be susceptible to heavy electromagnetic interference compared to shielded variants
  • Not intended for outdoor or underground burial

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is simple as it is a standard plug-and-play RJ-45 cable. To install, insert the connector into your device's Ethernet port until you hear an audible click, ensuring the latch guard is properly seated.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all standard RJ-45 Ethernet equipment, including switches, routers, workstations, and VoIP phones. It is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure.
  • Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal copper wiring. If disconnecting, always press the latch guard down completely before pulling to preserve the clip's integrity. When cleaning, use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe dust from the connector exterior.
