Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 U/UTP 7m Blue

The ProXtend CAT6 RJ-45 U/UTP 7m Blue is a 7-meter Ethernet cable designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands of AWG26, this cable offers a cost-effective option for wired connectivity. It features U/UTP shielding, RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts, and strain relief with latch protection for secure and durable connections.

Advantages

The cable provides gigabit data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is available in a 7 m length suitable for typical home and office setups. CCA conductors reduce manufacturing costs while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, and the integrated strain relief reduces the risk of connector damage during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network switches in home or small office networks
• Wiring routers, modems and network-enabled devices within a 7 m range
• Temporary or permanent wired connections where cost-efficiency is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG26
• Shielding: U/UTP

• Weight: 0.16 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect (for example, a computer and a router or switch). Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; use the strain relief near the connector when bending to prolong cable life. After connecting, verify link lights on network devices to confirm an active connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep cable length within 100 m for standard Ethernet deployments. While CCA cables are suitable for most consumer and small office setups, use pure copper (CCA-free) Cat6 cables in installations where maximum conductivity and long-term performance are critical.
