Product Information

Full details

The kenable 008360 is a 1-meter Cat5e network cable designed for users needing a reliable connection in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the right-angled connector, which prevents strain and allows use in areas with limited clearance. A potential consideration is that the upward or downward angle of the cable is fixed based on the port's orientation.

FAQs

What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?

This Cat5e cable supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).

What does 'U/UTP' mean for cable shielding?

U/UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It means the cable does not have an overall foil or braid shield, relying on the twisting of the wire pairs for noise reduction.

Can I use this cable with a Cat6 router?

Yes, Cat5e cables are backward compatible and can be used with Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 networking equipment, though speeds will be limited to Cat5e capabilities.

How do I know if the right-angled connector will work for my setup?

The right-angled connector bends the cable 90 degrees. If the port is in a tight space and requires the cable to exit upwards or downwards from the port, it should work. Check the orientation of your port and the cable's angle.

Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

While the cable can transmit data for PoE devices, its U/UTP (unshielded) construction may not be ideal for sustained high-power PoE applications compared to shielded cables.

What is the AWG of the copper wire used?

The cable uses 26 AWG copper wire.

How many cables are included in a single pack?

This product comes as a single 1-meter cable (1 pc(s)).

Troubleshooting

No network connection after plugging in.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely seated in their respective ports. Verify that the network device and the port on the router/switch are functioning correctly. Try using a different network cable to rule out cable failure.

Slow internet speeds or intermittent connection.

Check for physical damage to the cable, such as cuts or crushed sections. Ensure the cable is not exceeding its maximum recommended length for stable Gigabit speeds. Confirm that other network devices and your internet service are performing as expected.

Right-angled connector doesn't fit port properly.

The right-angled connector has a fixed orientation. Ensure the cable is oriented correctly for the port. If the angle is preventing connection, consider a straight cable or a cable with a different angle orientation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design with right-angled connector.
  • Reliable Cat5e performance for everyday networking.
  • Plug and Play for instant connectivity.
  • Suitable for connecting devices in confined areas.
  • Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure wide compatibility.

Cons

  • Limited length of 1 meter may not be suitable for all applications.
  • U/UTP shielding offers basic interference protection, not ideal for highly sensitive environments.
  • The fixed angle of the connector may not suit all port orientations.
  • Right-angled connector may prevent use in certain tight situations if the angle is incorrect for the port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable is designed for Plug and Play functionality. Simply insert one RJ-45 connector into your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other into the network port.

Compatibility:

  • Network Standards: Compatible with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks.
  • Device Ports: Works with any device featuring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port.
  • Cable Types: Can be used with other Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, or Cat7 cables and networking equipment.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the connectors clean by gently wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty.
  • Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling or strain.
