Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 5m Yellow

The ProXtend CAT6 F/UTP CU LSZH Ethernet Cable (5 m) is a shielded network cable designed for gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX). Constructed with 99.9% pure copper conductors (AWG 26) and an LSZH outer jacket, this yellow RJ-45 cable provides reliable data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s and reduced smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The cable includes a foil screen for protection against electromagnetic interference and features a snagless strain-relief design for secure, durable connections. Connectors are plated with 50µ"U gold for improved contact quality and longer life. All ProXtend CAT6 F/UTP CU cables support PoE+.

Advantages

The foil shielding (F/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference for a more stable signal, while the 99.9% pure copper AWG 26 conductors ensure consistent gigabit performance. The LSZH jacket lowers smoke and toxic fume output in hazardous conditions. A snagless design with reinforced strain relief protects the connector latch and cable during installation. Gold-plated (50µ"U) RJ-45 connectors increase durability and provide better transmission quality compared with standard metal-plated connectors.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-TX)
• Office or home network patching and device connections
• Power over Ethernet installations requiring PoE+ support
• Environments where reduced smoke/halogen emissions are required

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the corresponding network ports on your devices, patch panel or switch. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection; the snagless design reduces the risk of latch damage during insertion and removal. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and high-tension points to preserve conductor integrity and strain relief performance. For PoE+ use, verify that connected equipment supports PoE+ power delivery.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT6 F/UTP cable in structured cabling runs up to the recommended 100 meters for gigabit Ethernet; keep the cable away from strong EMI sources (large transformers, fluorescent ballast) when possible. Choose the 5 m length for short patch connections where visible color coding or easy identification is needed.
