Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 0.5m Red

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP Ethernet Cable is a 0.5 m red network cable designed for reliable data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s. It comes with RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and U/UTP construction to reduce interference. The cable is available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and is reinforced with strain relief and a snagless latch for durability.

Advantages

Reinforced strain relief and snagless latch protection extend connector life and prevent accidental damage during installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve connectivity and reduce signal loss. U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference in typical home and office environments. Multiple material, color, and length options simplify matching the cable to specific network requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and network devices at 10/100/1000Base-T(X) speeds
• Short patch runs in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Color-coded cable management and identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (computer, switch, router) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure plugs fully seat until the latch clicks to secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or kinks and keep it away from strong sources of electrical interference. For best performance, use the cable within its specified length and environment.

Recommendations

For durable installations, choose the copper variant for longest-term signal stability; use color-coding to simplify network management and replace cables showing visible wear or damaged connectors.
