Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 U/UTP 5M Blue

The ProXtend CAT6 U/UTP CU Ethernet Cable (5 m) with RJ-45 connectors is constructed from 99.9% pure copper strands (AWG 24) and a LSZH outer jacket to provide reliable gigabit connectivity while minimising smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. The cable supports PoE+ and is designed for use in 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, offering a durable blue cable with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for improved signal transfer and wear resistance.

Advantages

The cable uses 99.9% pure copper conductors and AWG 24 gauge to ensure stable transmission at up to 1000 Mbit/s. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in the event of a fire. Connectors feature 50µ"U" gold plating for increased durability and better contact conductivity compared with standard metal contacts. A reinforced strain relief and snagless latch protection improve mechanical reliability during installation and regular use. The cable also supports PoE+ power delivery.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit connections for desktop PCs, switches and routers
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP cameras and access points
• Office and data‑cabinet patching where LSZH jackets are required
• Home networks and small business LAN installations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (PC, switch, router or PoE injector) and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve cable performance. If installing in structured cabling routes, follow local wiring standards and secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs under typical gigabit maximum lengths (100 m total link length including patch cords). Use the LSZH jacketed cable in indoor environments or areas where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the gold-plated contacts.
