Ethernet Cables

Cat6 and Cat5e ethernet patch leads with RJ45 plugs, in white or black, from 1m to 20m, for connecting a TV, Sky Q box, games console or PC directly to your router.

Cat6 or Cat5e?

Both support gigabit broadband at home. Cat6 has better shielding against interference over longer runs, so it's our pick for new installs.

How long a cable do I need?

Measure the route along skirting boards and round door frames, then pick the next size up. Need to reach further? An ethernet extension cable or coupler joins two leads.

Is a wired connection better than Wi-Fi?

Usually, yes. A cable gives a faster, steadier connection for streaming and online gaming.
