Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cable support Gigabit internet?

This is a CAT5e cable, which is primarily designed for speeds up to 100Mbps in standard deployments.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor use. Outdoor usage may degrade the material and impact signal quality.

Is the cable shielded?

This cable is U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), making it flexible and lightweight for standard indoor office or home networking.

What is the AWG rating?

The cable uses 24AWG stranded conductors.

Are the connectors compatible with standard RJ45 ports?

Yes, this cable uses industry-standard RJ45 male connectors compatible with most routers, switches, and PCs.

Troubleshooting

No network signal detected

Check that both RJ45 connectors are fully seated until they click. If the issue persists, test the device with a different cable.

Slow data transfer speeds

CAT5e is rated for 100Mbps. If you require higher speeds, ensure your router and network hardware support Gigabit connections and verify the cable path is not near electrical interference sources.

Connector tab is stuck or difficult to release

The snagless boot is designed to protect the tab. Use your thumb to depress the centre of the boot over the tab to ensure you are effectively pressing the release mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible stranded conductor design
  • Snagless connector protects clips
  • Slim flush mould fits dense panels
  • Long 20m length covers large areas

Cons

  • CAT5e standard is older than CAT6
  • Performance limited to 100Mbps
  • Not suitable for ultra-high-speed fiber setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cable is a plug-and-play solution. Simply insert the RJ45 male connector into any compatible network port until you hear a click. To disconnect, gently push the snagless release tab to unlock the clip. To maintain the cable, avoid bending it at extreme angles, as sharp creases can damage the internal copper wires. When routing the cable, ensure it is not pinched by heavy furniture or pulled taut. The cable is compliant with RoHS standards and built with a durable PVC jacket, suitable for standard indoor temperatures.
