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

The ProXtend CAT6 U/UTP CCA Ethernet Cable (5 m) with RJ-45 connectors provides a cost-effective networking solution for structured cabling and patching. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands and AWG 26 conductors, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and offers a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is finished in orange PVC with gold-plated contacts and includes reinforced strain relief and latch protection for secure connections.

Advantages

This Ethernet cable combines economical CCA conductors with CAT6 performance suitable for gigabit Ethernet. Reinforced strain relief increases durability at the connector ends, while gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability. The orange jacket simplifies cable identification in patch panels and installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patching between network equipment in data cabinets and patch panels
• Temporary or fixed installations where visible cable identification is useful

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling: CAT6 U/UTP (CCA, AWG 26)
• Standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the appropriate network ports on your devices, such as a PC, switch or router. Ensure connectors click into place and that strain relief is seated against the device housing. For wall or cabinet installations, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it using appropriate cable management to reduce stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this ProXtend CAT6 U/UTP CCA cable for gigabit connections over short to medium distances and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. If maximum long-term performance and lower attenuation are required, consider using solid copper CAT6 cables.
