Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 0.2m

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 0.2m network cable uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) 26 AWG strands to provide a cost-effective Ethernet connection. This 0.2 m patch cable features male RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts, U/UTP construction and PVC jacket in orange, and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s for standard 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.

Advantages

The cable offers an economical alternative to full-copper cables by using CCA conductors while maintaining compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet. Strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors increase durability and help ensure secure, reliable terminations. The gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, and the orange PVC jacket makes the cable easy to identify in installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (0.2 m)
• Home and small office Ethernet setups supporting up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Cable runs where color-coding simplifies organization

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a computer, switch or router and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the other device. Ensure the latches on the connectors click into place for a secure connection. Use this 0.2 m cable for short patching tasks where devices are close together or for connecting adjacent ports in racks or patch panels.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and do not expose the PVC jacket to excessive heat or mechanical stress. For installations requiring higher flexibility, longer runs, or maximum conductivity, consider a full-copper Cat5e or Cat6 cable instead of CCA.
