Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 5M Blue

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable is a durable 5-meter network cable designed for data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s. It includes RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to improve contact and reduce signal loss, and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction to minimize interference. The cable is available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and comes in multiple color and length options.

Advantages

The ProXtend CAT5e cable combines gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, strain relief and a snagless latch design for reliable connections and extended connector life. Its U/UTP copper construction offers stable performance for typical home and office networks while remaining flexible and easy to route. The 5 m length provides convenient reach for most desktop and small office setups.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between PC, router and switch
• Home and small office networks
• Connecting networked printers and NAS devices
• Basic Gigabit Ethernet setups (10/100/1000Base-T)

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Conductor: Copper (CU) or copper-clad aluminum (CCA) variants
• Color: Blue
• Weight: 0.198 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, switch or router) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy pinching points to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Choose the copper variant when maximum conductivity and longevity are required; the copper-clad aluminum option provides a lighter, lower-cost alternative where appropriate.
