The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M is available at Mascom International for KSh 300, brand new and sealed, with an RJ45 plug on each end and full support for Gigabit Ethernet. Cat6 is a cabling standard rated to 250MHz, which gives a wired link more room against interference than older Cat5e cords. At one metre, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable suits short hops: router to desktop, switch to patch panel, or modem to console on the same shelf. It is in stock now at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Built for home users, console gamers and IT technicians across Kenya, this cord fixes a common problem: Wi-Fi that drops or slows when the house fills with phones and streaming TVs. A wired connection skips that crowding entirely. Plug the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M into a LAN port on a Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku router, and the computer beside it gets the full speed of your plan without fighting through walls for signal. Developers pushing large files, accountants working in shared cloud ledgers and gamers who hate lag spikes all gain from a steady, short wired link.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over unbranded cords with no paperwork, Mascom International sells the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M with a 6-month warranty and a receipt you can claim against. Customers across Nairobi tell us a short Cat6 lead was the cheapest fix they ever made for a stuttering video call. At KSh 300, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M is an easy add-on to any router or switch purchase. Walk in to see it before paying, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival, with delivery available across all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable
How much is the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M in Kenya?
The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M costs KSh 300, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the cable with RJ45 plugs already fitted on both ends, plus a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over cash or M-Pesa only once the cord is in your hands. If one metre turns out too short, the 5-metre Fujishka costs KSh 400 more and the 10-metre version KSh 800 more.
Is one metre long enough to connect my router to my computer?
One metre works when the router and computer sit on the same desk or shelf, roughly within an arm's length of each other. Measure the path the cord will actually take, including any drop from a shelf to a floor-standing tower, before buying. A cable pulled tight strains the RJ45 clips and can work loose over time. If your router sits across the room or behind a TV unit, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M will fall short, and a longer length suits you better.
Should I choose the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M or a longer 5M or 10M one?
Choose the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M for gear that sits side by side, and a longer length only when the devices are apart. All three lengths share the same Cat6 rating, RJ45 plugs and Gigabit support, so speed is identical across them for home use. The 1M keeps a desk tidy with no loops of spare cord to trip over or tangle. The 5M reaches across a typical room, while the 10M covers a hallway or the room next door. Extra length you do not need only adds clutter.
Does a wired link through the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M still work during a KPLC power cut?
The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M needs no power of its own, so it keeps passing data as long as the devices at each end stay on. During a KPLC outage, your router and computer both need backup power, such as a UPS or a small DC backup unit for the router. Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Airtel fibre installs also have a fibre box at home that needs power. A short cable to a UPS-backed router is a common Nairobi home-office setup that rides out brief cuts.
Can I use the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M to connect a PS5 or Xbox for online gaming?
Yes, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M connects a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series console to a router through the console's Ethernet port. A wired link avoids the dropouts and lag spikes Wi-Fi can bring when many phones share the same network. Both consoles have Gigabit Ethernet ports, which this Cat6 cord supports in full. One metre suits a console placed next to the router on a TV stand. Ping still depends on your internet plan and server distance, so the cable removes one weak point, not all of them.
Will the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M work in a server rack or network cabinet?
Short Cat6 cords like the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M are the usual way to link a patch panel to a switch inside a rack or wall cabinet. The one-metre length lets IT technicians loop the cord neatly between rows without long tails hanging out of the cabinet door. Offices in Upper Hill and Westlands often rewire cabinets in batches, so buying several matching cords keeps the layout uniform. Label each cord at both ends; it saves time when you trace a fault later.
What speed can a one-metre Cat6 cable carry?
The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M carries Gigabit Ethernet with ease and, at this short length, sits well within the range where Cat6 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Cat6 standard allows 10 Gigabit over runs of up to about 55 metres, so one metre is far inside that limit. Most home routers and laptops sold today have Gigabit ports, so 1Gbps is the real ceiling for most buyers. The faster rating matters if you work with 10 Gigabit switches or network storage.
Who should buy the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M and who should skip it?
Buy the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M if your router, switch or modem sits within a metre of the device you want wired. University students in hostels near Kenyatta or Strathmore, home-office workers and technicians fitting cabinets get the most from it. Skip it if your devices are in different corners of a room; a 5-metre or 10-metre Cat6 cord is the better fit there. Also skip it if your laptop has no Ethernet port and you have no USB-to-Ethernet adapter to bridge the gap.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Network Performance
- Cat6 category rating — the cable follows the Category 6 standard for twisted-pair Ethernet, used in homes, offices and data rooms worldwide.
- 250MHz rated bandwidth — a higher frequency ceiling than Cat5e, which leaves more headroom against signal noise from nearby power cables and appliances.
- Gigabit Ethernet support — carries up to 1,000 megabits per second, enough to move a 1GB file across a local network in under ten seconds.
- 10 Gigabit capable at this length — Cat6 supports 10GBASE-T up to about 55 metres, and one metre sits comfortably inside that range.
- Full-duplex wired link — data flows both ways at once, so uploads and downloads never take turns the way they can on crowded Wi-Fi.
- No setup or drivers — plug in both ends and the two devices agree on the fastest speed they share within a few seconds.
Compatibility With Routers, PCs and Consoles
- RJ45 plug on each end — fits the standard Ethernet port found on routers, switches, desktops, most business laptops, consoles and internet-connected TVs.
- Backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e ports — older equipment connects normally and simply runs at whatever speed its own port allows.
- Works with any provider's router — connects to the LAN ports on fibre and fixed-wireless routers, whichever company installed your home internet.
- Patch panel and switch use — the short length suits rack and cabinet patching where panels and switches are mounted a few units apart.
- Consoles and streaming boxes — links a games console or Android TV box straight to the router for steadier online play and video.
- Laptops without a port — connects through a USB-C or USB-A to Ethernet adapter, which is bought separately from the cable.
Build and Construction
- One-metre length — short enough to stay tidy on a desk or shelf, long enough to bridge a router and a computer placed side by side.
- Four twisted pairs inside — the Cat6 design twists each wire pair to cancel interference, which keeps the signal clean from plug to plug.
- Expected to be unshielded twisted pair, as standard patch cords are — light and flexible, with no grounded port needed at either end.
- Eight-pin RJ45 plugs — also called 8P8C connectors, they link all four wire pairs, which Gigabit and faster speeds depend on to work.
- Pre-fitted plugs — no crimping tool or termination skill needed; the cord comes ready to plug in straight out of the sealed pack.
- Patch cord design — made to be plugged, unplugged and moved between devices, unlike stiff installation cable meant to stay inside walls.
Inclusions and Support
- One Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M — a single finished cord with an RJ45 plug already fitted on each end, ready for immediate use.
- Brand new and sealed — the cord arrives in unopened packaging, never used, demonstrated or returned by another buyer before you.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects such as a plug that stops making contact or a broken internal wire.
- Test it before paying — bring a laptop to the Nairobi CBD shop and confirm the link light comes on before you hand over money.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — available across all 47 counties, so you pay only after you have inspected the cord at your door.
- Receipt for warranty claims — keep it safe with the packaging so any claim at the service desk is quick and straightforward.
Package Contents
The sealed pack contains one Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M with an RJ45 plug fitted to each end, ready to use the moment it comes out. Nothing else is needed for a standard router-to-device connection. If your laptop lacks an Ethernet port, a USB-to-Ethernet adapter is needed separately; ask Mascom International on WhatsApp which one suits your machine. Keep the packaging and receipt together, since both make a warranty claim simpler.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 1M with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use, such as a faulty plug or a break inside the cord. Bring the cable and your receipt to our service desk at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and we will assess the claim.
