Product Information

Full details

This Kenable CAT6 UTP Ethernet extension cable is designed for users needing to extend their existing network connection without moving their router or device. Its key benefit is providing a reliable gigabit-speed connection up to 2 meters. A minor caveat is that its 2-meter length may not be sufficient for all extension needs. The cable features a Male RJ45 connector on one end and a Female RJ45 on the other, built with 100% copper for optimal performance up to 1000mbps.

FAQs

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This CAT6 cable supports speeds of up to 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Mbps, provided your network infrastructure also supports these speeds.

Can I use this cable to connect my router to my modem?

This is an extension cable. It is designed to extend an existing Ethernet connection from a router or switch to a device, not typically to connect a modem directly to a router unless you are extending an existing link.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this cable is U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). It offers standard protection against interference but is not as robust as shielded cables (like FTP or STP) in high-interference environments.

What is the difference between this CAT6 extension and a standard CAT6 cable?

This is an extension cable with one male and one female RJ45 connector, designed specifically to lengthen an existing Ethernet cable. A standard CAT6 cable typically has male connectors on both ends for direct connection between devices.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Exposure to the elements like moisture and UV light can degrade the cable and affect its performance and lifespan.

Will this cable work with PoE devices?

Yes, this CAT6 cable is suitable for use with Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, as it meets the standard requirements for transmitting both data and power.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after connecting

Ensure both ends of the extension cable are securely plugged in. Verify that the existing Ethernet cable is functioning correctly. Try connecting the device directly to the router to confirm the device's network port is working. Ensure the network device's indicator lights show an active connection.

Slow internet speeds

Confirm that your entire network (router, modem, and other devices) supports gigabit speeds. Check the existing Ethernet cable for damage. Ensure the Kenable extension cable is not bent sharply or kinked. Consider if there is significant electromagnetic interference in the environment, as UTP cables are unshielded.

Intermittent connection drops

Check for loose connections at either end of the extension cable. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Test with a different Ethernet cable to rule out issues with the existing cable or device port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports gigabit speeds (1000mbps) for fast data transfer.
  • Made with 100% copper for reliable performance.
  • Extends existing Ethernet connections easily.
  • Durable construction suitable for various devices.

Cons

  • Limited to a 2-meter extension length.
  • UTP shielding is less robust than shielded variants against interference.
  • May not be suitable for extremely long-distance or high-interference environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the existing Ethernet cable and the device you are connecting have standard RJ45 ports.
  2. Plug the Male RJ45 connector of the Kenable extension cable into the Female RJ45 port of your existing Ethernet cable.
  3. Plug the Female RJ45 port of the Kenable extension cable into the Male RJ45 port of your device (PC, TV, console, etc.).
  4. Your network connection should be automatically recognized. No drivers or software are typically required.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • PCs and Laptops
  • Smart TVs and Streaming Devices
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
  • IP CCTV Cameras
  • VOIP Phones
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices
  • Games Consoles

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal wires.
  • Keep the connectors clean. If dusty, gently wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Protect the cable from excessive moisture, heat, or direct sunlight.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
