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

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP RJ-45 Male/Male 5M Yellow network cable uses copper-clad aluminum (CCA) strands with an AWG of 26 to provide a cost-effective Ethernet connection. The 5 m cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, features RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts and a U/UTP construction to reduce interference. Its yellow jacket makes cable identification simple in patch panels and installations.

Advantages

The cable combines economical CCA conductors with RJ-45 connectors that include latch protection and strain relief for improved connector durability and secure installation. U/UTP shielding helps minimise external electromagnetic interference, and the gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact performance over time. The 5 m length fits common desktop and rack cabling needs while the bright colour improves visibility during routing and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within offices or home networks
• Patching between patch panels and network devices in racks
• Temporary cabling for events, testing or troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT5e U/UTP
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: Copper-clad aluminum (CCA), AWG 26
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male / RJ-45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Weight: 0.1037 kg

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 male connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers or computers until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce electromagnetic noise by keeping it away from power cables when possible. For rack or patch-panel installations, secure excess length with cable ties and use the strain relief at the connector to prevent undue stress on terminations.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5e U/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet links over short runs up to 5 m; if longer runs or higher immunity to interference are required, consider higher-category or fully shielded cables.
