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

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Red 3M RJ-45 Male/Male network cable is a 3-meter Ethernet cable designed for structured network connections. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands with an AWG of 26 and a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design, it supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable features gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and a red PVC jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective balance between performance and price by using CCA conductors while maintaining compatibility with standard CAT5e installations. Strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs improve durability and secure connections during installation and everyday use. The gold-plated contacts help ensure reliable conductivity and resist corrosion.

Suitable for

• Home networking and broadband Internet connections
• Office LAN connections and workstation cabling
• Connecting routers, switches, modems and network devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 male end to your network device (router, switch, modem or PC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure plugs click into place to confirm latch engagement. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension; use the strain relief features at the connectors to reduce stress. Verify network settings on devices to use 10/100/1000Base-T(X) speeds as supported.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or large electrical equipment that can cause interference. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are visibly damaged. Use cable lengths appropriate to your setup to minimize excess slack and signal attenuation.
