Key benefits

- 2 m cable length: A practical reach for desk setups, entertainment units and nearby network devices without excessive slack.
- Wired network connection: Helps deliver a more stable link than Wi-Fi in many fixed-device setups.
- RJ45-style network compatibility: Connects easily with common Ethernet ports found on routers, switches, PCs, TVs and consoles.

Q: Is this Philips 2m Cat 6 cable suitable for a home NBN modem, router or gaming console?
A: Yes. A Cat 6 Ethernet cable is suitable for wired connections between devices such as an NBN modem, router, desktop PC, smart TV or gaming console with an RJ45 network port. The 2 metre length suits nearby devices rather than across-room runs.
Q: Will this Philips Cat 6 cable work with older Ethernet devices and ports?
A: Yes. Cat 6 network cables are generally backward compatible with older Ethernet equipment that uses the same RJ45 style port, including Cat 5 and Cat 5e devices. Performance will still be limited by the slowest connected port or hardware.
Q: Why choose a 2 metre network cable instead of a longer one?
A: A 2 metre cable is best when the modem, router or switch sits close to the device being connected. It helps reduce excess cable on a desk or TV unit, but it may be too short if the equipment is in a cabinet or a different room.
Q: Can this cable be used for internet access as well as local network connections?
A: Yes. This Philips Cat 6 cable can be used for internet access from a modem or router and for local network links such as a PC to router, switch to router, or console to modem. It is a data cable, not a phone line replacement for non-Ethernet sockets.
