Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Yellow 20M RJ-45 Male/Male

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA PVC Yellow 20M RJ-45 Male/Male network cable is a 20-metre Ethernet cable constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors of AWG 26. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and comes with male RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction and a PVC outer jacket in yellow for easy identification.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable offers a cost-effective solution by using CCA conductors while maintaining compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet standards. The cable includes strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs for improved durability and secure connection during installation. The yellow PVC jacket improves visibility when routing and identifying cables in network setups.

Suitable for

• Home and small office wired networks
• Connecting switches, routers and PCs over short to medium distances (up to 20 m)
• Patch panel and patch cord applications in non-critical structured cabling

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, such as a router, switch or computer. Ensure the connectors click into place to confirm the latch protection is engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the built-in strain relief to reduce stress on connector ends. For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables.

Recommendations

Use this ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CCA cable for general networking tasks in home and small office environments. For mission-critical installations or longer permanent links, consider using solid copper conductors and appropriate shielding to meet stricter performance and longevity requirements.
