Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Blue 20M

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Blue 20M network cable uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors with 26 AWG strands to provide an economical Ethernet connection. It measures 20 meters in length, supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is fitted with male RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features U/UTP construction and gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity and is finished in a blue PVC jacket.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable combines CCA conductors and 26 AWG strand size to lower cost while maintaining compatibility with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection increase durability and help prevent connector damage during installation. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion in typical home and office environments.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting routers, switches, PCs and networked devices with RJ-45 ports
• Temporary or permanent in-wall or patching runs where CAT5e performance is sufficient

Key specifications

How to use

Uncoil the 20 m cable and route it between devices, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ-45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports on your network devices until the latch clicks. Ensure strain relief is positioned near the connector to reduce stress on the cable during movement or tension.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5e CCA cable for standard Gigabit-capable local area network runs where cost-efficiency is a priority; avoid using it for long-distance runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference where solid copper or shielded cables are recommended.
