The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 700, and comes brand new and sealed with RJ45 connectors fitted at both ends. It runs Gigabit Ethernet and carries the Cat6 rating of 250MHz, a standard built to hold a clean signal across a full room. Five metres covers the usual gap between a fibre router near the front door and a desktop, TV or console on the far wall. Pick one up from our first-floor shop at Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for families, flat-sharing students and small business owners, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M handles the room-length runs that Wi-Fi often fumbles. Signal weakens through concrete walls, which many Nairobi apartments in Kilimani and South B are built with. A five-metre wired run solves that by carrying your full fibre speed to the device that needs it most. Estate agents running listings from a home desk, chemists keeping a stock PC online and students streaming lectures all get a connection that stays put. The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M also frees Wi-Fi capacity for the phones still on wireless.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell loose cords with no comeback, Mascom International covers the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M with a 6-month warranty and a proper receipt. Buyers throughout Kenya report that moving one heavy-use device onto a cable steadies the whole household network. The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M costs KSh 700, a fraction of what a Wi-Fi extender sells for, and needs no setup or app. Visit the Kimathi Street shop to check it in person, or send a WhatsApp message and pay only when the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable
What is the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M for KSh 700, brand new and sealed, from its Nairobi CBD shop. You get a finished cord with both RJ45 plugs fitted and a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, with M-Pesa or cash accepted at the door. The 1-metre Fujishka costs KSh 400 less for side-by-side devices, while the 10-metre version costs KSh 400 more when five metres will not stretch far enough.
Is the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M better than a Cat5e cable of the same length?
The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M is rated to 250MHz, while Cat5e is rated to 100MHz, so Cat6 has more margin against interference. Both carry Gigabit Ethernet at five metres, so on a typical home router you will see the same speed from either. Cat6 pulls ahead when the cord passes near power cables or appliances, and it supports 10 Gigabit equipment that Cat5e is not rated for. Pick Cat5e only if it is all you have; buy Cat6 when choosing new.
Will the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M carry my Safaricom or Zuku fibre speed to a PC across the room?
Yes, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M passes the full speed of any Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku or Airtel fibre plan to a wired device. Most home fibre packages in Kenya run below 1Gbps, and this Cat6 cord carries a full gigabit, so the cable will not hold the plan back. Plug it into a yellow or numbered LAN port on the router, not the WAN port. If speeds still disappoint, run a test at the router itself to see whether the plan, not the cable, is the limit.
How do I route a five-metre network cable neatly in a rented flat?
Run the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M along the skirting board and hold it with adhesive cable clips, so no drilling is needed. Avoid bending the cord sharply around door frames, because tight kinks can damage the twisted pairs inside. Keep it away from doorways where feet and chairs press on it every day. Many tenants in Nairobi flats also use thin adhesive trunking, which hides the cord and peels off cleanly when you move out.
Can the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M connect an IP camera or CCTV recorder?
The Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M links an IP camera or network video recorder to a switch or router through their RJ45 ports. Cat6 cords commonly carry Power over Ethernet from a PoE switch or injector, letting one cord both power and connect a camera. Check that your camera and switch both support PoE before relying on it. Five metres suits a camera mounted inside a shop or above an indoor gate, where the recorder sits close by.
Can a small shop use the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M for a network printer or till computer?
A small shop can use the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M to connect a network printer, till PC or receipt system to its router. A wired link keeps the till online even when customers crowd the Wi-Fi, which matters when you confirm a Lipa na M-Pesa payment on screen. Five metres usually spans a counter from the router on the back shelf. Shops in Kisumu, Nakuru and Nairobi's River Road often wire their till first because a dropped connection holds up the queue.
Does five metres of cable slow the connection compared with a shorter cord?
No, the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M runs at the same speed as a one-metre cord for any home or small-office use. The Cat6 standard allows a full channel of up to 100 metres for Gigabit Ethernet, so five metres uses only a small part of that budget. Ten Gigabit links also stay within Cat6 limits, which reach about 55 metres. Signal loss over five metres is too small to affect browsing, streaming or file transfers.
Who should buy the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M and who should skip it?
Buy the Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M when your router and the device you want wired sit on opposite sides of a single room. Families with a TV across the lounge, students in shared flats and shop owners wiring a counter fit it best. Skip it if both devices share one desk; the 1-metre Fujishka avoids five metres of slack. Skip it too if the router sits in another room down a corridor, where the 10-metre Fujishka is the better fit.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Signal Performance
- Category 6 Ethernet cord — built to the Cat6 twisted-pair standard, a common choice for new home and business network wiring.
- 250MHz frequency rating — more than double the Cat5e figure, giving extra protection from electrical noise in busy rooms and shops.
- 1Gbps Gigabit Ethernet — moves data at up to 1,000 megabits per second, enough headroom for the home fibre packages most Kenyan households use.
- 10 Gigabit ready at five metres — Cat6 handles 10GBASE-T over about 55 metres, so this length leaves plenty of room to spare.
- Stable wired signal — no drop in strength from walls, floors or neighbouring networks, which often slow Wi-Fi in apartment blocks.
- Lower latency than wireless — data reaches the router without radio delays, so video calls and online games respond more quickly.
Compatibility and Device Support
- Standard RJ45 connectors — plug into the Ethernet socket on routers, switches, desktops, televisions, consoles, network printers and IP cameras.
- Works with older Cat5e and Cat5 ports — the link simply settles at the fastest speed both connected devices can manage.
- Any fibre or fixed-wireless router — fits the LAN sockets on routers supplied by every major Kenyan internet provider.
- Power over Ethernet use — Cat6 cords commonly pass PoE from a compatible switch or injector to cameras, phones and access points.
- USB adapter for slim laptops — models without a built-in Ethernet socket connect through a USB to Ethernet adapter, sold separately.
- Automatic speed matching — devices agree on 10, 100 or 1,000 megabits on their own, with nothing to configure after plugging in.
Build and Physical Design
- Five-metre length — long enough to cross a standard room, short enough to avoid a large coil of spare cord behind furniture.
- Four twisted wire pairs — each pair is twisted at its own rate, which cancels interference between pairs along the run.
- Expected to be unshielded twisted pair, as standard patch cords are — flexible, light and simple to clip along a wall.
- Moulded RJ45 plug ends — eight-pin 8P8C plugs that connect all four pairs, needed for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit operation.
- Indoor patch cord — made for room use and repeated plugging, not for burial or runs exposed to sun and rain.
- Clip-friendly jacket — the round outer sleeve sits neatly in standard cable clips and slim trunking along skirting boards.
Inclusions and After-Sales Support
- One Fujishka Cat6 Patch Cable 5M — supplied finished, with both connectors fitted, so no tools or crimping are required.
- Sealed retail packaging — arrives unopened and never used, so you are the first person to plug it in.
- 6-month warranty — Mascom International covers manufacturing defects, including a loose plug or an internal break that cuts the link.
- In-store testing — connect it to a laptop at the Kimathi Street shop and watch the port light come on before paying.
- Nationwide pay-on-arrival — inspect the cord at your door first, then pay by M-Pesa or cash when satisfied.
- Receipt-based claims — your proof of purchase is all the service desk needs to begin assessing a warranty claim.
