The cable uses U/UTP (UTP) shielding, which provides basic protection against interference.

What is the cable length?

This specific cable is 6 meters long. Other lengths are available.

What is the connector type?

The cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Direct exposure to the elements may damage the cable.

How do I clean the cable?

You can connect computers, laptops, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and other devices with Ethernet ports to your network.

Is this cable backwards compatible?

Yes, it is compatible with older network standards such as Cat5.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Check the cable connections at both ends. Ensure the router and device are powered on. Try a different Ethernet port on the router or device.

Slow internet speed

Verify that your internet plan supports the speeds you expect. Ensure that other devices on the network are not consuming excessive bandwidth. Try a different Ethernet cable.

Intermittent connection

Check the cable for any physical damage. Make sure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Test with a different cable.
