Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Atek Cat8 cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device until you hear a distinct click. The cable is backwards compatible with older network equipment, though you will be limited to the speed of the slowest component in your chain. To care for your cable, avoid bending the cord at 90-degree angles, as this can damage the internal shielding. When routing through hallways, use adhesive cable clips to prevent tripping hazards. Keep the connectors free from dust and debris to ensure optimal contact with your hardware ports.
