Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 5m Green

The ProXtend CAT6 F/UTP CCA Ethernet Cable (5 m) is a shielded networking cable designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors of AWG 26, the cable provides an economical solution for gigabit Ethernet connections. The outer jacket is green and the cable includes foil screening to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating for reliable contact and improved corrosion resistance. The F/UTP shielding (foil) reduces EMI, while strain relief and latch protection on the connectors provide secure, stable terminations during installation. Its 5 m length and lightweight construction make it suitable for typical home and office cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Home network connections
• Office workstations and LAN setups
• Connecting switches, routers and modems within short to medium distances
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) installations

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring the length covers the required distance without excessive bending. Insert RJ-45 plugs firmly into Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use cable management clips or ties to avoid strain on connectors and prevent sharp bends that can degrade signal quality. For best performance, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For stable gigabit performance, avoid running the cable alongside mains power cables and inspect connectors for damage before use. Replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors show visible wear or corrosion.
