Product Information

Full details

The Connektgear CAT6 network cable is an ideal solution for home and office users requiring reliable, high-speed data connections for PCs, printers, and gaming consoles. It supports speeds up to 1Gbps and features a slim, flush-moulded design that fits perfectly in dense networking environments like patch panels. While it provides excellent performance, its 3-meter length is best suited for local connections rather than long-distance building runs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support 10Gbps speeds?

No, this is a CAT6 cable which is rated for 1Gbps performance.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a material that reduces the amount of toxic smoke and gas emitted during a fire.

Can I use this outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor usage may expose the jacket to environmental damage.

Is this cable shielded?

It is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it does not have individual pair shielding.

Can I cut this cable to a shorter length?

It is not recommended to cut or re-terminate the cable, as this may affect the integrity of the molding and transmission quality.

Is the connector compatible with all wall plates?

Yes, the standard RJ45 design is universally compatible with standard Ethernet wall plates and networking hardware.

Troubleshooting

Device showing no network connection

Ensure both ends of the cable are fully inserted until the connector clicks; verify the port on the device is active.

Slow data transfer speeds

Check that the router or switch port is configured for gigabit speeds and ensure no other device is causing high network congestion.

Intermittent signal dropouts

Inspect the cable for any physical damage, sharp kinks, or heavy objects resting on the cord that might compromise internal wiring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 1Gbps data transfer capability
  • Slim design ideal for side-by-side ports
  • Snagless connector protects clips from damage
  • Durable strain relief prevents cable fatigue
  • LSZH jacket is safer for indoor use

Cons

  • Fixed 3-meter length may be too short for large rooms
  • U/UTP shielding is not suitable for high-interference environments
  • Limited to 1Gbps speeds (not suitable for 10Gbps enterprise needs)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply push the RJ45 male connector into the Ethernet port of your device or network hardware until you hear a audible click. Because it is a snagless cable, the clip is protected, but ensure it is properly aligned before inserting.

Compatibility: This cable is fully backward compatible with older network standards (CAT5/CAT5e) and works with all standard RJ45-enabled hardware including routers, modems, switches, and gaming consoles.

Care: To maintain performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or pulling on the wire itself during removal. Always pull from the connector housing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
