Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 007208 Cat 6 network cable is designed for users needing reliable gigabit Ethernet connections, offering speeds up to 1000Mbps. Its ultra-low profile makes it ideal for discreet installation under carpets or along skirting boards, a key benefit for maintaining a tidy environment. The primary caveat is its 1-meter length, which may be limiting for longer runs. Key features include its Cat 6 Gigabit compliance, flat UTP design, and pure copper conductors.

FAQs

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This is a Cat 6 cable, which supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000Mbps.

What does 'low-profile' and 'flat' mean for this cable?

It means the cable is very thin (1.4mm) and wide (6mm), making it easy to run discreetly under carpets, along skirting boards, or through tight gaps without being noticeable or creating a trip hazard.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. It is suitable for most standard home and office environments but may not be the best choice for areas with very high levels of electrical interference.

Can I use this cable with older Cat 5 devices?

Yes, Cat 6 cables are backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e devices.

What is the length of this specific cable?

This product is a 1-meter (approximately 3.3 feet) cable.

What material are the conductors made of?

The cable features high-grade pure copper stranded conductors (32AWG).

What colors are available?

This specific model (007208) is available in Black.

Troubleshooting

No network connection / Slow speeds

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports. Check that the cable is not damaged (e.g., frayed, cut, or severely kinked). Verify that the cable is connected to the correct ports on your router/switch and device. Test with a different known-good network cable to rule out the cable as the issue. Ensure your connected devices and network equipment support Gigabit speeds if you expect 1000Mbps.

Cable does not fit securely

Inspect the RJ45 connector and the port for any debris or damage. Gently clean the connector if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct type of port (standard Ethernet RJ45).

Intermittent connection drops

Check for potential sources of electromagnetic interference near the cable run, although UTP cables are less susceptible than very cheap or damaged ones. Ensure the cable is not bent too sharply. Try a different port on your network switch or router.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for discreet cable management due to its flat, low-profile design.
  • Supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) for demanding applications.
  • Constructed with pure copper for reliable signal quality.
  • Backward compatible with older network standards like Cat 5.
  • Molded connectors offer durability and a secure fit.

Cons

  • Limited to a 1-meter length, which may not be sufficient for all installations.
  • Being UTP (Unshielded), it may be more susceptible to interference in highly electromagnetically noisy environments compared to shielded cables.
  • Flat design can sometimes be less flexible than round cables in very tight bends.
  • Only available in Black.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch, game console) and the other RJ45 connector to your network source or destination port. Ensure the connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility: The cable is Cat 6 compliant and backward compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 7, and Cat 8 standards. It will work with any device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port, including most modern computers, laptops, routers, modems, smart TVs, game consoles, and network switches.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks, especially near the connectors, to maintain signal integrity.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Never use liquids.
  • Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When running under carpets, ensure the cable is not subject to excessive foot traffic or sharp objects that could damage its flat structure.
