Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 1.5M Yellow

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable is a 1.5 m yellow network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Constructed from copper conductors with U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and provides data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket ensure reliable connectivity and basic protection for everyday home or office use.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable features reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch design to reduce connector damage and cable wear. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants, and offered in multiple colors and lengths, it provides options to match installation needs. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and the U/UTP construction balances performance and cost-effectiveness for typical network deployments.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between PCs, switches and routers in home networks
• Office network workstations and small business LANs
• Connecting network printers, NAS devices and media players

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet port of your device until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension on the strain relief area. For best performance, use straight-through wiring for end devices and verify link status on connected hardware. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.

Recommendations

Use the copper variant where maximum conductivity is required; choose copper-clad aluminum if weight or cost is a priority. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference and keep within the intended length to maintain signal integrity.
