When disconnecting, press the plastic locking tab on the connector to release it safely from the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 2 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.5e standards
• Ensure the environment is suitable for indoor-rated PVC cabling

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. Keep the cable organized using cable ties to maintain a clean and safe workspace.
