Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 5M Red

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable (5 m, red) features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Constructed with copper conductors and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) topology, the cable is designed for reliable wired network connections while the PVC jacket provides basic protection and flexibility.

Advantages

The cable includes strain relief and a snagless latch design to reduce connector damage during installation and removal. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and multiple colors and lengths, this ProXtend cable offers straightforward compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports and delivers stable performance for typical wired networking tasks.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired LAN connections
• Connecting routers, switches and PCs with RJ-45 ports
• Structured cabling for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices (router, switch, PC). Ensure the connectors click into place with the latch engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and high-traffic areas to preserve signal quality and cable life. For best results, keep the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power cables and transformers.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in gigabit networks, use proper cable management to avoid excessive bending and tension. Choose the copper variant for the best conductivity when long runs or higher reliability are required; copper-clad aluminum may be used for shorter or cost-sensitive installations.
