Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 20M Grey

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable (20 m) provides reliable wired network connectivity with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction. Designed for data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s, this grey cable is suitable for home and office environments and is available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protect the connectors for long-term use.

Advantages

The cable features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Its U/UTP (unshielded overall) design reduces external interference for consistent performance. Reinforced strain relief and snagless latch protection increase connector durability and make installation easier in tight spaces. The 20 m length covers longer runs without additional patching.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections in homes and small offices
• Connecting routers, switches, modems and networked devices
• Data transfer and internet access at up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Structured cabling where a 20 m run is required

• Weight: 0.727 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (router, switch, modem or PC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place with the snagless latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the reinforced strain relief at the connector ends to reduce stress. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines over long distances.

Recommendations

For stable gigabit performance, use the copper variant (CU) where possible and keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet lengths. If running through conduits or trays, confirm the cable type (copper or copper-clad aluminum) matches local installation requirements.
