The kenable 20m Cat5E STP Ethernet cable is designed for IT professionals and home users who require a reliable, interference-resistant connection for networking equipment like routers, switches, and computers. It delivers high-quality data transmission at up to 1000Mbps, making it ideal for Gigabit networks, though its 20-meter length and shielded construction make it slightly less flexible and heavier than standard unshielded patch cables.

This cable is designed for indoor use. It does not feature UV-resistant or weatherproof jacketing, so it should not be used outdoors.
No, this is a standard straight-through patch cable designed for connecting devices like computers to routers or switches.
For optimal effectiveness, the shielding should be grounded through the connected network equipment, assuming the ports are designed to accept shielded RJ45 plugs.
This cable uses 26AWG copper wire, which is standard for high-performance Ethernet patch cables.
Yes, it is fully backward compatible with 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks.
This specific model (005462) is available in Grey.
Verify that both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in the ports. Check for any physical bends or crushed sections of the cable.
Ensure that both network devices at either end of the cable are Gigabit capable (1000Mbps) and that your network interface cards are not set to 10/100Mbps manually.
To install, simply plug the RJ45 male ends into your respective devices (such as a router and a PC). Because this is a shielded cable, ensure that your connecting devices support shielded cabling standards if you require a full ground path for the shielding. Avoid bending the cable at sharp, acute angles to prevent damage to the internal twisted pairs. When routing the cable, avoid bundling it tightly with power cords. For care, keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges, and periodically check the RJ45 locking clips to ensure a secure connection.
