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

The ProXtend Ultra Slim CAT6 U/UTP CU Ethernet Cable (5 m, red) is a slim RJ-45 patch cable designed for gigabit networks. Constructed from 99.9% pure copper conductors with AWG 28, the cable supports 1000 Mbit/s data rates and PoE++ compatibility. The outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to reduce smoke and toxic gases in case of fire, while a 3.6 mm ultra-slim profile improves flexibility and airflow in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable combines high-quality 99.9% copper strands and AWG 28 for reliable signal transmission, while 50 μ" gold-plated RJ-45 contacts increase durability and transmission stability. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces. Additional features such as strain relief and a tangle-free latch simplify installation and reduce connector stress. Its slim 3.6 mm diameter makes routing and cable management easier in tight spaces or crowded racks.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T)
• PoE++ powered devices such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones
• Tight routing paths, cable trays and dense patch panels
• Office and home network installations requiring LSZH jacket

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable through trays or channels, avoiding sharp bends and heavy compression. For PoE++ devices, confirm that the connected switch or injector supports PoE++ and that device power requirements match the supply.

Recommendations

Use the ProXtend Ultra Slim CAT6 cable in installations where space is limited or improved airflow is needed; avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to minimise potential electromagnetic interference.
