Ethernet Cable ProXtend Ultra Slim CAT6 RJ-45 5M Blue

The ProXtend Ultra Slim CAT6 U/UTP CU Ethernet Cable (5 m) is a slim, LSZH-jacketed network cable designed for high-performance Gigabit connections. Built with 99.9% pure copper strands (AWG 28) and RJ-45 connectors with 50µ"U gold plating, the cable supports stable data transmission up to 1000 Mbit/s and is compatible with PoE++ power delivery. Its 3.6 mm ultra-slim profile improves flexibility and airflow in dense installations while the U/UTP construction reduces external interference. The cable is blue, 5 meters long and suitable for standard 10/100Base-T(X) networking environments.

Advantages

The cable's 99.9% pure copper conductors and 28 AWG gauge provide reliable signal integrity and low attenuation. An LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic gases in case of fire. The ultra-slim 3.6 mm diameter improves routing in tight spaces and enhances airflow in stacked or crowded network racks. Gold-plated (50µ"U) RJ-45 connectors increase contact durability and can improve throughput compared with standard metal-plated connectors. Integrated strain relief and a tangle-free latch contribute to secure and convenient installation.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections (up to 1000 Mbit/s)
• PoE++ powered devices such as access points, cameras, and VoIP phones
• Tight cable runs and patch panels where space and airflow are important
• Office and home network installations requiring LSZH safety standards

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, or patch panel) and the other end to the target device (computer, access point, or PoE-enabled device). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and tight pinch points; the slim diameter facilitates routing through cable management channels and behind equipment. For PoE++ devices, verify that the connected equipment supports the same PoE standard.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended Gigabit Ethernet length limits, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and use proper cable management to maintain bend radius. Choose LSZH-jacketed cable in environments where low smoke and reduced toxic emissions are required.
