Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 3m Yellow

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable (3 m, Yellow) is a reinforced network cable designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. Constructed for durability with strain relief and snagless latch protection, this CAT5e cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) connections and a transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and is available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and multiple colors and lengths to fit different installation needs.

Advantages

This Ethernet cable combines U/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved contact and corrosion resistance, and reinforced construction including strain relief and a snagless latch to protect the connector during installation and regular use. The 3 m length and bright yellow color make it easy to route and identify within patch panels and cabling runs.

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or device and the other end into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable management accessories if needed. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as power cables and large motors.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit performance, use the cable in typical indoor environments and avoid running it parallel to mains wiring. Choose copper (CU) variant where maximum conductivity is required; select a longer or shorter length variant as needed to minimize slack and signal loss.
