Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 1m Blue

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable (1 m, blue) provides a reliable wired connection for home and office networks. Built to last, this CAT5e cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to reduce signal loss. The cable is available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants, with reinforcement features such as strain relief and snagless latch protection for longer service life.

Advantages

The cable combines U/UTP shielding for basic protection against electromagnetic interference with robust physical design elements like strain relief and a snagless latch to prevent connector damage. RJ-45 gold-plated contacts improve contact quality and reduce corrosion risk. Multiple color and length options make it easy to match installation requirements.

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (router, switch, PC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the opposing device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and pinching; use cable clips or ties to secure it and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, choose the copper (CU) variant in environments with higher interference or longer cumulative cable runs. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius moderate to preserve signal integrity.
