This kenable 007987 Cat5e Ethernet cable is designed for reliable home and office network connections. It offers a cost-effective and lightweight solution for linking devices like PCs, laptops, and gaming consoles to your router, ensuring stable data transfer. While its Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) construction offers benefits, it's important to be aware that CCA may not offer the same conductivity as pure copper for extremely high-demand applications.

Cat5e (Category 5e) is a standard for Ethernet network cables. It supports data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is suitable for most common networking applications.
U/UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It means the cable consists of four pairs of wires twisted together, but there is no overall metallic shielding around the pairs.
Yes, Cat5e cables are designed to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) speeds over distances up to 100 meters, provided the connected equipment also supports these speeds.
CCA means the cable's conductors are made of aluminium with a thin copper coating. This makes the cable lighter and cheaper than pure copper, but it may have slightly lower conductivity.
While Cat5e cables can technically carry power, unshielded cables and CCA conductors are generally not recommended for reliable PoE applications, especially for higher power devices. Dedicated PoE-compatible cables often have better shielding and pure copper conductors.
Moulded connectors are generally more durable than externally crimped connectors, as the connection between the cable and the connector housing is integral. This reduces the likelihood of the connector breaking off or becoming loose with regular use.
Cat5e cables are rated for reliable performance up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet). The 6-meter length of this specific cable is well within this range.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the cable is not visibly damaged. Try a different Ethernet port on your router or device. Test with another known working cable.
Verify the cable is a Cat5e or higher standard. Ensure the connected devices and router also support the desired speeds (e.g., Gigabit). Check for physical damage or excessive stress on the cable. For very long runs or high-interference environments, consider a higher-spec cable.
Inspect the RJ-45 connectors for damage or debris. Ensure the cable is not being bent at a sharp angle or stretched tightly. Try rerouting the cable away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power cords, microwaves).
Setup: Simply plug one RJ-45 connector into an available Ethernet port on your networking device (e.g., PC, router, switch) and the other end into the corresponding port on your network source or destination device. Ensure the connectors click securely into place.
Compatibility: This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 ports found on most modern networking equipment, including routers, switches, modems, computers, laptops, gaming consoles (PS3, Xbox 360, etc.), smart TVs, and network printers. It supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
