This high-quality, low-profile Cat 6 network cable from Kenable is designed for users needing reliable gigabit connections. Its primary benefit is the ability to deliver speeds up to 1000Mbps with a discreet, flat design perfect for running under carpets or flooring. A potential caveat is its UTP shielding, which may be less robust in highly interference-prone environments compared to shielded options. This cable features full copper conductors, RJ45 connectors, and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for home and office networking.

This Cat 6 cable supports speeds up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
Yes, Cat 6 cables are backward compatible and will work with Cat 5e and Cat 5 devices and networks. However, the connection speed will be limited by the capabilities of the older device.
The cable has a low profile, measuring approximately 1.4mm in height and 5mm in width.
No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. It is suitable for most standard home and office environments.
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the cable meets environmental standards by restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in its manufacture.
Yes, its flat design makes it ideal for running under carpets or along baseboards where a round cable would be noticeable or impractical.
The cable uses high-grade pure copper stranded conductors (32AWG).
Ensure both RJ45 connectors are firmly seated in their respective ports. Try a different Ethernet port on your router or device. Test with another known working network cable to rule out the cable as the issue.
Verify the cable is a Cat 6 and connected to Gigabit-enabled ports on both ends. Check network settings on your devices. Ensure the cable is not significantly damaged or excessively long (beyond recommended lengths for Cat 6). Consider potential interference if used in a very crowded electronic environment.
Inspect the cable for visible damage, particularly near the connectors or any areas where it is routed. Ensure the cable is not being sharply bent or pinched. Try routing the cable away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power adapters, fluorescent lights).
Setup: This cable features standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Simply plug one end into your network device (e.g., router, switch, computer, game console) and the other end into the corresponding port on your network equipment. Ensure the connectors click securely into place.
Compatibility: The Cat 6 standard ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks. It is also backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 devices and networks. It will work with any standard Ethernet port found on most modern computing devices, routers, switches, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
