Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Green 7M RJ-45 Male/Male

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Green 7M RJ-45 Male/Male is a 7-meter network cable built with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors of AWG 26, designed to provide a cost-effective Ethernet connection. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and features RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent) construction and a PVC jacket deliver a practical solution for standard network installations.

Advantages

The cable combines CCA conductors to reduce material cost while maintaining electrical continuity and reliable signal transmission for Gigabit Ethernet in typical environments. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs improve connector durability and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Gold-plated contacts provide improved corrosion resistance and consistent contact performance over time.

Suitable for

• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Connecting routers, switches, modems and networked devices
• Temporary or permanent horizontal in-room cabling
• Environments where a 7 m cable length is required

How to use

Verify network devices are powered off or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your equipment manufacturer. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your source device (router, switch or modem) and the other into the destination device (PC, NAS, media player, etc.). Ensure the connectors click into place and check link/activity LEDs on devices to confirm connection and negotiated speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinching, or placement under heavy objects that could damage the jacket or conductors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the U/UTP cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment to minimize electromagnetic interference. Use this CCA cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet links in homes and small offices; consider pure copper (CU) cables for long runs, critical infrastructures, or PoE applications where manufacturer specifications require copper conductors.
