Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 1.5m Blue

The Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 1.5m Blue is a 1.5-metre F/UTP CCA cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors of AWG 26, the cable provides a cost-effective solution for wired network connections. A foil screen reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), and gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability. The cable includes strain relief and latch protection for secure connector installation.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding offers protection against EMI while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. Copper-clad aluminum conductors lower cost and weight compared with full copper cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance durability and maintain stable electrical connection. Strain relief and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and use.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting switches, routers, PCs and networked devices supporting Gigabit Ethernet
• Short runs where cost-effectiveness and cable flexibility are required (1.5 m)

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 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 shield around pairs)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.057 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector securely into the network ports on your devices (for example, router, switch or computer). Ensure that the latch engages to maintain a stable connection and use the built-in strain relief to avoid sharp bends near the connector. Route the cable without forcing tight bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

The cable is suitable for short-distance Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and small office environments. For installations requiring long cable runs, higher mechanical durability, or improved electrical performance, consider using a full-copper Cat6 or Cat6a cable with appropriate shielding.
