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

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Grey 7M RJ-45 Male/Male network cable uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors with AWG 26 to offer an economical solution for wired Ethernet connections. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and comes with gold‑plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The U/UTP construction provides basic unshielded twisted pair performance suitable for typical home and office networks while the PVC jacket in grey increases durability.

Advantages

This 7 m ProXtend CAT5e cable delivers cost-effective Gigabit-capable connectivity using CCA conductors and AWG 26. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and signal transmission. The cable includes strain relief and latch protection at the connectors for more secure installations and longer service life. Its standard U/UTP design and PVC jacket make it compatible with common networking equipment and installations.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between PCs, switches and routers in home or small office environments
• Connecting network-attached devices such as printers, NAS or IP cameras supporting 10/100/1000Base-T
• Temporary or permanent horizontal runs where a 7 m cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male / RJ-45 male
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: PVC, colour grey
• Weight: 0.1316 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 male connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices (for example router, switch or PC). Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the integrated strain relief reduces stress at the connector ends. The cable functions immediately after connection and supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s where both endpoints support Gigabit Ethernet.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this ProXtend CAT5e cable for short to medium runs in indoor environments. Avoid outdoor exposure, prolonged UV or direct moisture contact as the PVC jacket is not rated for outdoor installation. If maximum copper conductivity is required for long runs or demanding installations, consider full copper Cat5e or higher-category cables.
