Product Description
A 5 metre CAT6 network cable for a connection that does not drop
The Sinox 051378 is a five metre CAT6 Ethernet cable with moulded RJ45 plugs at both ends, rated to 250MHz and gigabit speeds. A wired run is still the fix for a games console, a smart TV or a desktop that keeps losing Wi-Fi, and five metres is enough to get from the router to the next piece of furniture.
Gigabit speeds over CAT6
Rated at 250MHz and 1Gb/s, so it will carry everything a home broadband connection can deliver with headroom to spare for moving files between machines on the network.
More reliable than Wi-Fi
A cable does not care about walls, neighbours' networks or how many phones are in the house. For a console or a TV that streams, it is the difference between buffering and not.
Moulded RJ45 connectors
Standard RJ45 plugs at both ends, moulded onto the cable so the strain goes into the moulding rather than the wires.
Five metres
Enough to reach across a room from the router without a coil of spare cable behind the unit.
Recyclable packaging
Supplied in an FSC-certified cardboard sleeve rather than a plastic blister.

FAQ
How fast is it?
Gigabit, 1Gb/s, at 250MHz. That is well beyond what any home broadband connection delivers, so the cable will never be the bottleneck.
Will it work with my router and console?
Yes. RJ45 is the standard network socket, so it fits any router, games console, smart TV, desktop PC, printer or network switch.
Is a wired connection really better than Wi-Fi?
For anything that stays in one place, yes. A cable is unaffected by walls, distance or other networks nearby, which is why consoles and streaming boxes benefit most.
How long is it?
Five metres, enough to cross a room from the router.
Is it shielded?
No, it is UTP, unshielded twisted pair, which is the normal choice for a home or office run.
What does CAT6 mean?
It is the cable's performance grade. CAT6 handles 250MHz and gigabit speeds, a step up from the older CAT5e.
Is there a longer version?
Yes, the same cable comes in 10 metres as model 051385 and 20 metres as model 051392.
What is the packaging like?
An FSC-certified cardboard sleeve, so the whole thing goes in the recycling.
