Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.

Can I use this for outdoor installations?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use only.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

While it meets standard specifications, ensure your PoE requirements match the 24AWG stranded conductor capabilities.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a material that emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.

Is this cable compatible with my router?

Yes, it uses the standard RJ45 connector, which is compatible with almost all modern routers, modems, and networking switches.

Troubleshooting

Device is not detecting a network connection

Ensure the cable is pushed firmly into the port until the locking clip clicks. Test the cable with a different port on your router or switch.

Network speed is significantly slower than 1Gbps

Check that both the connected device (e.g., PC, printer) and the switch/router port are rated for Gigabit Ethernet. Verify that there is no physical damage or sharp kinks in the cable length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim design ideal for high-density networking racks
  • Snagless connector boot prevents breakage
  • Supports reliable Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • LSZH material offers improved safety
  • Easy plug-and-play installation

Cons

  • Unshielded design may be susceptible to heavy electromagnetic interference
  • Limited to indoor use
  • Fixed 5m length is not adjustable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is simple: insert either end of the RJ45 cable into your networking hardware until you hear a click. The cable is fully backward compatible with older networking standards, though it will perform optimally when connected to Gigabit-enabled hardware. To ensure the longevity of the cable, avoid bending the wire at sharp angles near the connector boot. When routing the cable, ensure it is not pinched by furniture and keep it away from extreme heat sources to preserve the integrity of the LSZH jacket.
