Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 0.5m Grey

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP Ethernet Cable (0.5 m) is designed for reliable high-speed data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s. It features RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and U/UTP cabling technology for reduced interference. The grey cable is available in both solid copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and includes strain relief and a snagless latch for longer life and dependable connectivity.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5e performance with reinforced strain relief and snagless latch protection to minimize connector damage and cable stress. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact quality, while U/UTP construction helps limit electromagnetic interference. Short 0.5 m length suits compact setups and reduces excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Patch connections in network cabinets and patch panels
• Short-distance links where a 0.5 m cable is appropriate

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for direct short connections between network hardware such as a computer and a switch or between patch panel ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; ensure strain relief is seated at the connector to reduce stress on the cable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic interference (motors, fluorescent lighting). Choose the copper variant when maximum conductivity is required; the copper-clad aluminum option provides a lighter alternative where appropriate.
