Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 5M RJ-45 Male/Male

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Orange 5M RJ-45 Male/Male network cable is a 5-metre Ethernet cable constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands and AWG 26 conductors. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The cable uses U/UTP topology, gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket in orange for easy identification.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA cable offers a cost-effective solution for wired networks by combining CCA conductors with AWG 26 sizing. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection improve connector durability and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Gold-plated contacts increase resistance to corrosion and help maintain reliable signal contact over time.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting switches, routers and network devices with RJ-45 ports
• Temporary or color-coded cabling installations where an orange cable aids identification

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male / RJ-45 male
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Jacket material and colour: PVC, orange
• Weight: 0.1037 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a compatible port on a router, switch or modem. Ensure the connectors click into place using the latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the reinforced strain relief reduces stress at the connector but does not replace careful handling. For best performance, keep the cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For permanent installations or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider using a fully copper, shielded cable. Use this ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA cable for standard home and small office networks, color-coded runs, or short-to-medium length connections up to 5 metres.
