Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port on your router, modem, or network device until you hear a audible 'click'. The ATEK Cat 8 cable is backward compatible with Cat 7, Cat 6a, and Cat 6 devices. For care, avoid bending the cable at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can degrade the internal shielding over time. When routing the cable, ensure it is not pinched by heavy furniture, which could compress the internal conductors. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the length of the cable; avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive substances on the connectors.
