Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 3M RJ-45 Male/Male

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 3M RJ-45 Male/Male network cable is a 3-meter Ethernet cable designed for standard wired networking. It uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors with AWG 26 strands and a U/UTP construction to provide a cost-effective solution for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) connections. The cable features RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts and an orange PVC jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable offers a balance of affordability and functionality by combining CCA conductors and CAT5e specification to support gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs improve durability and help secure connections. The gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and enhance reliable signal transfer.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch panel and patch bay connections in structured cabling
• Temporary or color-coded cabling runs where visibility or organization is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Standard: CAT5e, 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Conductor: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male / RJ-45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: PVC, orange
• Weight: 0.067 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 male connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to connect, such as a computer and a switch or router. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; use the built-in strain relief when positioning the plug.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5e CCA cable for standard gigabit networking in home and small office environments. For long-term installations, high-interference environments, or mission-critical links, consider using pure copper (solid copper) or shielded cables to maximize performance and durability.
