Kenable Ethernet Cable - Cat5e

The main difference is the conductor material. This cable uses Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA), which is lighter and less expensive, but cannot reliably carry power. Pure copper cables use solid copper conductors and are suitable for both data and power transmission (like PoE).

No, this cable is not suitable for PoE. The CCA construction means it cannot safely conduct the electrical power required by PoE devices. You will need a pure copper Ethernet cable for PoE installations.

This Cat5e cable is capable of supporting data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), provided that all other network equipment (router, switch, network cards) also support these speeds.

This is a solid core cable. You will need to strip the outer jacket, untwist the pairs, arrange them according to the T568A or T568B standard, and use an RJ45 connector designed for solid core Cat5e cable. A crimping tool is required to secure the connector.

The PVC sheath provides some protection, but this cable is generally intended for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation and extreme weather conditions may degrade the jacket material over time.

Meter marked means that the length of the cable in meters is printed directly on the outer sheath at regular intervals. This helps installers measure and cut the exact amount of cable needed without having to measure it manually.

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the correct ports on your devices. Check that the cable is properly terminated and that the correct wiring standard (T568A/B) has been used. Test with a different known-good cable to rule out a cable fault.

Ensure the cable is not damaged, kinked, or subjected to excessive strain. Check for nearby sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Confirm that all connected devices and network equipment support Gigabit speeds. For longer runs, consider if signal degradation is a factor.

This is expected behavior. The cable uses Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) which cannot safely carry power. For PoE applications, a pure copper Ethernet cable is required.
