Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this cable support Gigabit internet?
This is a CAT5e cable rated for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps). While it may pass data on a Gigabit network, it will be limited to 100Mbps speeds.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use and features a PVC jacket that is not rated for weather resistance or UV protection.
What does 'snagless' mean?
The snagless boot covers the locking tab on the connector, preventing it from catching on other cables or surfaces and breaking during installation.
Is this a shielded cable?
No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.
What is the AWG size?
This cable uses 24AWG wire, which is a standard thickness providing a balance of flexibility and signal quality for this length.
Can I daisy-chain this with other cables?
While technically possible using an RJ-45 coupler, it is not recommended as it can degrade signal quality and speed.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection detected
Ensure both ends are firmly clicked into their respective ports and check the device network settings to ensure the Ethernet port is enabled.
Intermittent signal or drops
Check the cable for physical kinks or heavy pressure points. Unplug and reconnect to ensure the gold-plated pins are making full contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply insert the RJ-45 connector into any standard Ethernet port on your modem, router, switch, or networking device until you hear a 'click'. As it is a plug-and-play device, no software configuration is required.
Compatibility: This cable is fully compatible with any device featuring a standard RJ-45 LAN port, including PCs, laptops, games consoles, smart TVs, and network printers. It adheres to IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards.
Care:
- Avoid bending the cable at sharp 90-degree angles to maintain internal wire integrity.
- Keep the cable away from heat sources that could degrade the PVC jacket.
- Ensure the cable is not pinched under heavy furniture or door frames, as this can degrade connection speeds.
