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

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Red 7M RJ-45 is a 7‑meter ethernet cable built with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors and an AWG 26 strand construction to provide a cost-effective network connection. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base‑T(X) operation with data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is terminated with male RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features U/UTP construction, gold‑plated contacts and a PVC jacket in red for easy identification.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable combines copper‑clad aluminum conductors and AWG 26 strands to reduce material cost while maintaining compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection improve mechanical durability and help prevent connector damage during installation and removal. Gold‑plated contacts increase contact reliability and resist corrosion.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections between switches, routers and PCs
• Home and small office network cabling
• Temporary network setups and patching in racks
• Connections requiring a visible or color‑coded cable (red)

Key specifications

• Length: 7 m
• Cabling: CAT5e U/UTP (unshielded)
• Conductor: Copper‑clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Connectors: RJ‑45 male — both ends
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (10/100/1000Base‑T(X))
• Contacts: Gold‑plated
• Jacket: PVC, red
• Weight: 0.1316 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking devices (switch, router, PC). Ensure connectors click into place and strain relief rests against the port to reduce stress on the plug. For best performance, avoid excessive bending, stretching or running the cable close to strong electromagnetic sources. Use the cable for links up to 7 meters as specified.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit operation, keep runs short and minimize interference; if permanent high‑performance links or long runs are required, consider using a solid‑copper CAT5e or CAT6 cable instead of CCA.
