Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 U/UTP 10M Grey

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable (10 m) is a durable network cable designed for reliable data transmission up to 1000 Mbit/s. It uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to maintain stable contact and minimise signal loss. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction and copper conductor provide consistent performance for home and office networks. The cable comes in grey and includes strain relief and a snagless latch for improved durability.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable combines a copper conductor and PVC jacket for long-term use, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors reduce corrosion and contact resistance. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protect the connector and cable during frequent plugging and routing. The 10 m length allows flexible placement of network devices without compromising signal quality for typical Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers and switches within home or small office networks
• Wiring networked printers, NAS devices and media players
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, router, switch) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors click fully into place using the snagless latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of high mechanical stress, and use the strain relief near the connector when pulling the cable into position.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs under typical maximum structured cabling distances for Gigabit Ethernet and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors become damaged.
