Product Information

Full details

The 5 Star Network 6 Patch Lead is an ideal solution for home and office users looking to establish reliable, cost-effective gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances. Designed for standard networking tasks, it provides consistent data transmission using Category 6 specifications. Please note that because this cable utilizes copper-clad aluminum (CCA) construction, it is strictly not suitable for Power over Ethernet (POE) applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable for POE devices like IP cameras?

No. This cable uses CCA conductors and is not designed to carry the electrical current required for Power over Ethernet applications.

What is the maximum speed this cable supports?

This is a Category 6 cable, which is designed to support gigabit (1000 Mbps) network speeds.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.

What does CCA mean?

CCA stands for Copper-Clad Aluminum, which is a material often used to reduce costs but has different electrical and physical properties compared to pure copper.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor environmental factors like UV light and moisture will damage the cable jacket.

Troubleshooting

Network device fails to establish a link

Ensure the connector is fully inserted and the locking tab is engaged. Test the cable with a known working port.

Intermittent connectivity or slow speeds

Check the cable for physical damage, kinks, or sharp bends. Replace the cable if the outer jacket is compromised.

Equipment connected to POE does not power up

Disconnect immediately. This cable is not POE-compatible. Replace with a solid copper cable designed for POE applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for general networking requirements
  • Supports gigabit network speeds
  • Short 0.5m length helps maintain tidy cable management
  • Standard RJ45 connectors for broad compatibility

Cons

  • Not compatible with Power over Ethernet (POE) setups
  • Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) construction is less durable than pure copper
  • Short length limits placement options to adjacent devices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is a simple plug-and-play process; insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking hardware until you hear a mechanical click. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid bending it at sharp angles or pinching it under furniture, as the CCA internal wiring is more prone to fracture than solid copper cables. Always verify that your network devices do not require POE before connecting this lead. Keep the cable away from extreme heat sources and ensure it remains free from moisture to prevent signal degradation over time.
