The Cables Direct 2m Economy Gigabit Networking Cable is an ideal solution for home and small office users seeking reliable high-speed data transmission for standard networking tasks. It delivers consistent performance for general internet connectivity and data transfers, but it is important to note that because the cable utilizes Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) conductors, it is strictly not recommended for Power over Ethernet (POE) applications.

No. This cable uses CCA conductors and is not recommended for Power over Ethernet (POE) applications.
Yes, as long as your router has a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port, this cable will work for your network connection.
It stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair, meaning the cable does not have extra shielding against electromagnetic interference, which is standard for most home and office environments.
This cable uses Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA), which provides a more economical price point compared to solid copper cabling.
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor use may expose it to moisture, UV, and temperature extremes that can degrade the cable quickly.
Ensure the RJ-45 connector is fully inserted and the locking tab is engaged. Verify both the router and the connected device are powered on.
Check the cable for physical damage or sharp kinks. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power lines which could cause interference.
Confirm that all connected equipment (routers, switches, and NICs) are rated for Gigabit speeds and that no other cables in the chain are restricted to 10/100 Mbps.
Setup is straightforward: simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click. To ensure longevity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles, which can damage the internal twisted pairs. When disconnecting, always depress the plastic locking tab on the connector to prevent damaging the port or the cable itself. Since this cable uses CCA construction, avoid using it in environments where high temperatures or heavy current draw is expected, and never use it to power devices such as VoIP phones or wireless access points that rely on POE.
