How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to a router, switch, or modem. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the cable and keep it separated from high-power electrical cabling to reduce interference. If routing through walls or conduits, verify that the cable jacket meets local installation requirements.

Recommendations

For consistent network performance, use this Cat5e cable for installations up to 5 metres where Cat5e-rated speeds meet your requirements. For higher bandwidth needs or installations longer than 5 metres, consider upgrading to Cat6 or higher-category cables. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show wear that could affect signal quality.
