Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP Male/Male 10m Orange

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP Male/Male 10m Orange network cable uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors with 26 AWG to provide a cost-effective Ethernet connection. This 10 m cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates and comes with gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors and a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid) construction for reduced interference in typical home and office environments.

Advantages

The cable combines CCA conductors and 26 AWG sizing to lower material costs while preserving acceptable signal transmission for Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve contact reliability and limit corrosion. The jacket includes strain relief and latch protection to increase connector durability and simplify secure installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home networks
• Office network patching and desk-side connections
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations requiring visible colour coding
• Environments where Gigabit speeds are needed over typical cable lengths (up to 10 m)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 male connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the integrated strain relief helps prevent damage at the connector. For best performance keep cable runs within recommended distances for Cat5e and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines.

Recommendations

Use this ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections in homes and offices. For long permanent runs, environments with strong electromagnetic interference, or when maximum long-distance performance is required, consider using solid copper Cat5e/Cat6 cables with appropriate shielding.
