Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 2M Yellow

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable is a durable 2-meter network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. It meets the Cat5e standard with U/UTP construction, offers RJ-45 connectors with gold plating for improved conductivity, and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is available in a yellow PVC jacket and features strain relief and a snagless latch for long-term use.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable provides stable 10/100/1000Base-T(X) performance with minimized interference due to its U/UTP construction. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protect the RJ-45 plugs during frequent handling. Gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and reduce signal loss, while the 2 m length and yellow color simplify placement and identification in network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Wired Ethernet connections for gaming consoles and smart TVs
• Temporary or permanent patching in network racks and patch panels

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a computer, switch or router and the other connector into the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both connectors click into place with the snagless latch engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension on the strain relief. For optimal performance, keep the cable separate from power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this CAT5e cable for distances up to 100 meters per link segment and avoid kinking or tightly winding the cable. Replace the cable if the connectors or strain relief show visible damage.
