Asked 6 years ago by Jbarrera2019.

Q: QuestionIs it safe to run through vents? Heat is usually from 70-80 Fahrenheit.

Asked 7 years ago by JettaJer.

• A:Answer I certainly hope so. I'm running it through my attic, and where I live, the temperature up there can reach up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm using it to replace a similar cable that didn't fail up above, but got the plugs themselves beat-up. The connectors (plugs) on this cable look to be ones to last for the long haul.

Q: QuestionCan the 14’ cat 6 network cable be used effectively to stream amazon and Netflix from a smart tv instead of using WiFi?

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Insignia™ - 14' Cat-6 Ethernet Cable - Gray

• A:Answer Dear Anonymous, As long as you see an ethernet connection on the back of your smart TV. Then the answer is a resounding "YES." Keep in mind that an ethernet connection provides a more stable connection to the Internet than wireless does. Most smart TVs are built with Wi-Fi abilities, but some models do have an ethernet plug.

Q: QuestionCan this be used outside for security cameras

Asked 7 years ago by Tamtam.

• A:Answer Cat 5 cat 5e and cat 6 cables all use the same connectors. So anything you can use cat 5 for you can use cat 6. Cat 6 is rated for higher bandwidth due to slightly superior construction. If your installing cable in walls, your required to use cat 6. Hooking up power over ethernet cameras, youd be best served using at least cat 6 cable. You can run it over longer distances without as much signal degradation as compared to cat5.

Q: QuestionI have 2 Xbox. 1 wired the other wirelessly. The wired I get high fast speed the wireless one low speed. High speed runs 50mbps, wireless 8mbps. If I were to run both wired will it run 50mbps or half??? For online gaming Xbox live

Asked 7 years ago by Darrenx88.

This question was asked about the related product: Insignia™ - 50' Cat-6 Ethernet Cable - Gray

• A:Answer You would get a similar speed if you run both as wired. If you’re using both at the same time you may see some speed loss, but your speed would be closer to 50 than the 8 you are getting wirelessly.
