Ethernet Cable ProXtend CAT6A RJ-45 U/UTP 5M Red

The ProXtend CAT6A U/UTP CU LSZH Ethernet Cable (5 m, red) is a 10GBase-T compatible network cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. Constructed with 99.9% pure copper strands (AWG 24) and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) topology, the cable combines low interference with reliable conductivity. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire, while the cable supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+).

Advantages

The cable uses 99.9% pure copper conductors and AWG 24 sizing to deliver consistent electrical performance and low attenuation over the 5 m length. Its LSZH jacket provides improved safety in confined or public spaces by emitting minimal smoke and no halogenated acidic gases during combustion. RJ-45 connectors are plated with 50 µin gold to increase contact durability and transmission quality; this thicker gold plating offers higher throughput and longer connector life compared with standard plating. The connector design includes strain relief and a snagless latch protector to reduce wear and simplify secure installation.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections (10GBase-T) between switches, servers, and workstations
• PoE+ powered devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones
• Environments where low smoke and zero halogen emissions are required

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to prevent damage to the strain relief. For patching in racks or structured cabling, route the cable without excessive tension and maintain bend radii consistent with industry practice for CAT6A cables.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT6A cable for short to medium runs up to 5 m in length in 10GBase-T networks, keep the cable away from strong EMI sources where possible, and avoid tight bends or kinks. Use LSZH cable in areas where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required by local safety regulations.
