Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP RJ-45 Male/Male 15M Red

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP RJ-45 Male/Male 15M Red network cable is a 15-metre Ethernet cable designed for typical LAN and home network connections. Constructed with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands and AWG 26 conductors, it offers a cost-effective solution for wired networking. The cable features U/UTP construction, gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, and latch protection for secure installation.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and adheres to 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, ensuring compatibility with common gigabit network equipment. The connectors have gold-plated contacts to improve signal quality and reduce corrosion. Reinforced strain relief increases durability at the connector ends, and the red jacket provides easy visual identification in cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or small office LANs
• Wiring network devices that require RJ-45 Cat5e connections
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling where a visible cable color is useful

Key specifications

• Weight: 0.26 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 male connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices (for example, computer to switch or router). Ensure the latch on each connector clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical strain; use the reinforced strain relief ends as intended to reduce stress at connector junctions. The cable is ready to use with devices supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and will negotiate the appropriate speed with connected equipment.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius moderate. Use the red colour to mark specific network segments or connections in patch panels and cable management systems.
