Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 3m Blue

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable, 3 m in blue, provides a durable wired connection for network devices supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X). Reinforced with strain relief and a snagless latch, the cable is built for long-term use and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and multiple lengths and colours, this ProXtend cable is intended to match common LAN and home network setups.

Advantages

Reinforced strain relief and snagless latch protection reduce wear at connector points. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve durability and connection stability. U/UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. PVC jacket and standard 3 m length offer a balance between flexibility and reach for typical desktop and home installations.

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch engaged. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and pinching; use cable clips or ties to secure runs and prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit performance, use the ProXtend CAT5e cable for runs up to typical horizontal cabling lengths; if you need longer permanent runs or improved noise immunity, consider higher category cables (CAT6/CAT6a) or shielded variants.
