Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 0.3m Red

The ProXtend CAT6 F/UTP CCA Ethernet Cable (0.3 m) with RJ-45 connectors is designed for compact network connections where space is limited. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands and AWG 26 conductors, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable jacket is red and the RJ-45 plugs feature gold-plated contacts and reinforced strain relief with latch protection. A foil screen (F/UTP) surrounds the pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT6 cable provides a cost-effective solution for Gigabit Ethernet connections by using CCA conductors while maintaining the CAT6 specification and F/UTP shielding. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and the reinforced strain relief and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and use. The foil screen offers additional immunity to EMI for more stable signal transmission in environments with possible interference.

Suitable for

• Short-distance network patching between devices (0.3 m)
• Connecting laptops, switches, routers and network ports
• Temporary or fixed workstation cable runs where a short red patch cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil screened pairs, overall unshielded)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Red
• Weight: 0.024 kg

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between network equipment such as switches, routers, computers or network interfaces. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and do not place the cable under sustained mechanical strain to preserve signal quality and connector integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this ProXtend CAT6 F/UTP CCA cable for short connections only; for longer runs or installations requiring maximum conductivity, consider using solid copper CAT6 or higher-specification cables. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources when possible to minimise interference despite the foil screening.
