Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 U/UTP 20CM Orange

The ProXtend CAT6 U/UTP CU LSZH Ethernet Cable (20 cm, orange) is a short patch cable designed for reliable Gigabit networking. Constructed from 99.9% pure copper strands with 24 AWG, it supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates and PoE+. The outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to reduce smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, while a snagless design and strain relief increase durability during installation and everyday use.

Advantages

The cable uses 24 AWG pure copper conductors for consistent signal integrity and low attenuation over short runs. RJ-45 connectors are plated with 50µ"U gold for improved contact durability and transmission quality compared with standard metal-plated plugs. LSZH jacket material minimizes hazardous emissions in confined spaces. The 20 cm length provides a compact solution for short connections between devices where a full-length patch cable would be impractical.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network devices (patch panels, switches, routers, PCs)
• Gigabit Ethernet setups supporting 1000 Mbit/s
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) deployments
• Environments requiring LSZH cable jacket for safety (server rooms, offices, public buildings)

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors click into place with the snagless latch protection, and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable by using the integrated strain relief. The 20 cm length is intended for close connections within racks, between adjacent ports, or for tidy desktop setups.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT6 cable for short patching where Gigabit speeds and PoE+ are required. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference, and do not exceed manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve conductor integrity.
