Product Information

Full details

The kenable Cat5e Network Cable (2m) is designed for IT professionals and home office users who need to connect networking equipment in confined spaces where a standard straight connector would be obstructed. Its primary benefit is the right-angled connector, which allows for a lower profile connection against walls or in tight rack mounts; however, users should note that the cable exit direction depends entirely on the orientation of their specific RJ45 port.

FAQs

Does this cable support Gigabit speeds?

Yes, as a Cat5e cable, it is capable of supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over short distances.

Is this cable shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP)?

This is a standard UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Cat5e cable.

Can I use this for PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

Yes, the full copper construction makes this suitable for standard PoE applications.

What is the AWG rating of the internal wires?

This cable uses 26 AWG wiring.

How do I know which way the cable will exit?

If the RJ45 port latch is on the bottom, the cable exits upward. If the latch is on the top, the cable exits downward.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed for indoor networking and does not have the weather-resistant jacket required for outdoor installation.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected after plugging in cable

Ensure the connector is fully seated in the port and that the retention clip has clicked into place.

Cable is blocking an adjacent port

The right-angle connector is bulky; consider using this cable on the outer-most ports of your device to avoid obstructing neighboring sockets.

Cable is exiting in the wrong direction

The cable exit is fixed based on your port's orientation. If it is pointing in an undesirable direction, check if the device port can be accessed from a different angle or use a standard straight cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for tight spaces and limited-depth enclosures
  • High-quality full copper construction
  • Durable injection-moulded connector ends
  • Standard Cat5e performance for general networking

Cons

  • Cable exit direction is determined by port orientation
  • Fixed 2-meter length may be too long for some desktop applications
  • Right-angle head may block adjacent ports in some routers or switches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper installation, first check the orientation of your device's RJ45 port. If the retention latch is pointing down, the cable will exit upward; if the latch points up, the cable will exit downward. When plugging in the cable, ensure the connector is fully inserted until you hear an audible click to guarantee a solid data connection. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid sharp bends near the connector heads, as this can fatigue the copper wiring inside. Keep the cable away from high-heat sources and ensure it is not pinched by furniture or heavy equipment during routing.
