How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (PC, switch, router) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the other device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy compression or heat sources that could damage the PVC sheath. For best results, keep the cable length within the specified 15 m run for optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and replace if connectors or the sheath show visible damage. Use within standard structured cabling setups and verify network speeds and link status after installation.
