Maintenance

The WISCENT Cat 6 Ethernet Cable requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Avoid Sharp Bends: While the flat design is flexible, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles, which can damage the internal conductors.
• Keep Connectors Clean: Periodically inspect the RJ45 connectors for dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean them if necessary.
• Protect from Physical Damage: Ensure the cable is not pinched, stepped on, or exposed to heavy objects that could crush it.
• Store Properly: If storing the cable, coil it loosely to prevent kinks and tangles. The flat design helps in tangle-free storage.
