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

The ProXtend CAT6 U/UTP CU LSZH Ethernet Cable (5 m, red) is a Category 6 patch cable designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. It uses 24 AWG 99.9% pure copper conductors and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction to provide reliable gigabit data transfer and compatibility with PoE+ devices. The outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to limit smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of a fire, and the cable has strain relief with a snagless latch for easier and more durable installation.

Advantages

The cable combines 24 AWG pure copper conductors with 50 gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to improve transmission quality and connector durability. LSZH outer jacket improves safety in confined spaces. Strain relief and snagless latch protection reduce connector damage during installation. The cable supports PoE+ and standard CAT6 performance for stable gigabit connections.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T)
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points
• Patch panels, switches and desktops in offices and data closets

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Cable construction: CAT6 U/UTP (CU)
• Conductor: 24 AWG, 99.9% pure copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 gold-plated (50 gold plating)
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

• PoE support: PoE+
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port on your network devices such as switch, router or network interface on a PC. Ensure connectors click fully into place using the snagless latch. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; the strain relief will reduce stress at the connector but standard cable management practices should be followed. The cable is ready for immediate use with gigabit networks and PoE+ equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Use LSZH cables in enclosed or public spaces where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required.
