Ethernet-kabel ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 3 m rood

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable, model 5UTP-03R, is a 3 m red network cable designed for data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. It uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum conductor options and multiple lengths and colours, this cable is built with strain relief and snagless latch protection for long-lasting use.

Advantages

This ProXtend CAT5e cable provides reliable performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to improve connectivity and reduce corrosion. The U/UTP design minimises external interference for stable data transmission, while strain relief and a snagless latch protect the connector and cable from mechanical wear. The red PVC jacket helps with cable identification and organisation.

Suitable for

• Home and office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting switches, routers, modems and networked devices with RJ-45 ports
• LAN setups requiring up to 1 Gbit/s speeds

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your computer, switch or router and the other connector into the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors click into place using the snagless latch, and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors to maintain the integrity of the strain relief. Use the appropriate conductor variant (CU or CCA) according to your network reliability and budget requirements.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard Ethernet length limits (up to 100 m for CAT5e). Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and secure it with cable ties or clips to prevent strain at the connectors.
