Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 0.3m Yellow

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP Ethernet Cable (0.3 m) with RJ-45 connectors is built for long-term use. It features gold-plated RJ-45 plugs, snagless latch protection and strain relief to reduce wear at connector points. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum constructions, this yellow patch cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and provides a compact, visually distinct solution for short patching and device connections.

Advantages

This 0.3 m ProXtend CAT5e cable offers gigabit-capable performance up to 1000 Mbit/s while maintaining minimal interference through U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and corrosion resistance. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protect connectors during frequent plugging and routing in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (switches, routers, patch panels)
• Connecting computers, NAS or media players to a local network
• Home and small office network cable management where a visible color helps identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, router or computer. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable clips or ties for tidy installation. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit connections use this cable for short runs only (0.3 m). Choose copper construction when maximum conductivity is required; copper-clad aluminum offers a lighter option. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if the latch or contacts show visible damage.
