Network Cable ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP RJ-45 Male/Male 5M Red

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP RJ-45 Male/Male 5M Red network cable is a 5-metre patch cable designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks with a rated speed up to 1000 Mbit/s. Constructed from copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands with AWG 26, the cable features U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded jacket) construction, gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and a red jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable offers a cost-effective solution for connecting devices in home or office networks. The CCA conductors reduce material cost while maintaining adequate electrical performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. Reinforced strain relief and latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors increase durability and help ensure secure, reliable connections during installation and routine use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patching between network equipment in wiring closets and patch panels
• Temporary or permanent connections where a visible red cable is preferred for identification

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring the connector latches audibly to confirm a secure fit. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges that could damage the jacket or conductors. For best results with Gigabit speeds, use compatible network equipment and keep cable runs within recommended lengths.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5e U/UTP cable for typical Ethernet connections in residential and small business environments; for installations requiring maximum shielding or long runs in electrically noisy environments, consider shielded cable types or higher-category cabling.
