Condition: New

Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M is available at Mascom International for KSh 800, brand new and sealed, with RJ45 plugs fitted on both ends and stock ready today. The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable carries Gigabit Ethernet and is rated for up to 250MHz, the standard Cat6 figure for signal bandwidth. At 5 metres, it is short enough to stay tidy and long enough to cross most rooms. Cat6 carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs up to about 55 metres, so this length sits well inside that limit. Collect one at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for home workers, gamers, small office managers and CCTV installers across Kenya, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M solves a common problem. Wi-Fi weakens through the concrete walls of many Kilimani and Westlands apartments, so video calls freeze and online games lag. A 5-metre cable runs from a Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku router to a desk, TV stand or console across the same room. In small offices, it links a printer, desktop or POS terminal to the network switch. The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M handles that reach without loops of slack piling up on the floor.
Unlike loose cable sold by the metre at street stalls, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M arrives finished with both plugs already fitted, so there is no crimping tool or guesswork. Customers across Nairobi tell us a wired connection fixed the buffering that Wi-Fi extenders could not. Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unnamed cables with no cover, Mascom International backs this one with a 6-month warranty. Walk into the store to collect it, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery the same day within Nairobi and the next business day in Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret.
Common Questions About the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable
How much is the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M in Kenya?
The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M costs KSh 800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sold sealed in its packaging. That price covers one ready-to-use cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. You pay on arrival when we deliver, so there is no risk of paying for a cable that never shows up. The 3M version costs KSh 500 and the 10M costs KSh 1,500, so the 5M sits between them for room-sized runs.
Should I buy the 3M, 5M or 10M Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable?
Choose the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M when your device sits across the room from the router but still in the same room. The 3M at KSh 500 suits a desk right beside the router or a TV on the same wall. The 10M at KSh 1,500 crosses into the next room or along a corridor. All three carry the same Cat6 rating and Gigabit speed, so pay only for the length you need. Measure the path along the wall and add a metre of slack.
Will the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M work with Safaricom, Zuku or Airtel home internet in Kenya?
Yes, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M plugs into the LAN port of any home fibre or 5G router used in Kenya. That includes routers supplied by Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and Airtel Kenya. Your package speed, not the cable, sets the top speed, and Cat6 handles Gigabit with room to spare. During KPLC power cuts, the cable keeps working as long as the router runs on a UPS or backup battery, so your wired desk stays online.
Can I use the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M for a CCTV camera or PoE device?
Yes, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M suits an IP camera mounted close to the recorder, such as above a shop entrance with the NVR behind the counter. Cat6 carries Power over Ethernet, which sends power and data down one cable, so a PoE camera or access point needs no separate socket. Your switch or NVR must supply PoE for this to work. For cameras further away along a compound wall, the 10M, 15M or longer lengths are the better fit.
Is the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M good for gaming on PS5 or Xbox?
Yes, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M gives a PS5, Xbox Series X or gaming PC a steady wired connection to the router. Wired play removes the Wi-Fi drops that cause lag spikes in online matches of EA Sports FC or Call of Duty. Both consoles have a Gigabit Ethernet port, which matches Cat6 exactly. Large game downloads also finish faster when the router and fibre package allow it. Five metres usually reaches from a TV stand to a router on a shelf.
Who should buy the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M and who should skip it?
The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M suits anyone with a device across one room from the router: a home office desk, a TV, a console or a small office printer. Skip it if your device sits right next to the router, where the 3M saves you KSh 300 and avoids coiled slack. Skip it too if the router is in another room, because 5 metres rarely bends around doorways; the 10M handles that. Laptop users who move around the house may prefer a mesh Wi-Fi system.
How fast is the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M?
The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M carries Gigabit Ethernet, which is 1,000 megabits per second, and is rated for up to 250MHz. Cat6 also carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs up to about 55 metres, and 5 metres is well inside that. Most Kenyan home fibre packages run far below 1,000 Mbps, so the cable will not hold back your connection. Transfers between devices on the same network, such as a PC and a network storage drive, also benefit.
Is a wired Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M better than Wi-Fi for work calls?
A wired Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M gives steadier Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls than Wi-Fi in most Kenyan homes and offices. Wi-Fi shares airtime with phones, TVs and neighbouring networks, and thick stone walls weaken it further. A cable gives your computer its own dedicated link to the router, so picture and sound stay in step. Lawyers and accountants working from Upper Hill tell us their calls stopped freezing once they plugged in. Laptops without a network port need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Performance
- Category 6 (Cat6) twisted-pair Ethernet cable — the standard grade for modern home and office wired networks, a step up from older Cat5e cable.
- Gigabit Ethernet support — carries data at up to 1,000 megabits per second, faster than most home fibre packages sold today.
- Rated for up to 250MHz — bandwidth is the range of signal frequencies a cable handles; a higher figure leaves more headroom for fast, stable data.
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs — Cat6 handles 10GbE up to about 55 metres, so this 5-metre length qualifies for faster switches and storage.
- Ethernet runs up to 100 metres — the standard limit for a Cat6 link, so 5 metres uses only a small share of the possible reach.
- Power over Ethernet capable — Cat6 carries power and data together to PoE cameras, desk phones and access points when the switch supplies power.
Compatibility and Typical Uses
- RJ45 plugs on both ends — RJ45 is the standard square network plug found on routers, laptops, desktops, consoles, TVs and switches.
- Home fibre and 5G routers — any router with a LAN port accepts this cable directly, with no adapter or setup needed.
- Gaming consoles and streaming TVs — connects a PS5, Xbox or Android TV for steadier online play and fewer buffering pauses on video.
- Office equipment — links desktops, network printers, IP phones and point-of-sale terminals to a switch across a small office or shop floor.
- IP cameras and ceiling access points — reaches a camera or access point mounted near the network cabinet without an extra extension cable.
- Backward compatible — works with older 10/100 Mbps devices and Cat5e network gear, running at whatever speed the slower device supports.
Build and Handling
- 5 metre length, about 16.4 feet — crosses a typical bedroom, living room or small office from wall to wall with some slack left over.
- Pre-terminated patch cable — both RJ45 plugs come already fitted, so you plug in straight away without crimping tools or a cable tester.
- Clip-locking RJ45 plugs — the plastic latch clicks into the port and holds the cable in place until you press it to release.
- Gentle bends only — route the cable around corners with a smooth curve, because sharp kinks and crushed sections can cut network speed.
- Keep clear of power cables — running data cables a short distance away from mains wiring reduces electrical interference on the line.
- Indoor routing — run it along skirting boards or inside trunking; for any outdoor stretch, protect it inside conduit from sun and rain.
Inclusions and Support
- One cable per pack — a single finished Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M, ready to connect two devices out of the packaging.
- No adapters or tools needed — any device with an RJ45 network port connects directly, from routers to printers and consoles.
- 6-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with claims handled at the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD.
- Jacket colour — ask on WhatsApp which colour is on the shelf before ordering, since stock can change from week to week.
- Sister lengths — 1M, 2M, 3M, 10M, 15M, 20M and 25M versions of the same cable are stocked at Mascom International.
- Choosing a length — measure the route along walls and around furniture, then add about a metre so the plugs never pull tight.
Package Contents
Each pack contains one Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M, with an RJ45 plug already fitted at each end. That is everything needed to connect a router to a computer, TV, console, printer or camera on a single run. No power adapter, coupler or tools come in the pack, and none are needed for a normal connection. If you need to join two cables, or your laptop lacks a network port, ask our team on WhatsApp about couplers and USB-C to Ethernet adapters.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 5M with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use, such as a plug that will not hold a connection or a cable that stops passing data. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street.
