Cable Ethernet ProXtend CAT5e RJ-45 2M rojo

The ProXtend CAT5e U/UTP CU PVC Ethernet Cable, 2 m, red, is a reliable network cable designed for stable data transfer at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. It uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain conductivity and resist wear. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protector increase connector durability. Available in copper and copper-clad aluminum variants and multiple lengths and colours, this ProXtend cable suits typical home and office networking needs.

Advantages

This CAT5e cable provides gigabit-capable performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks while keeping EMI susceptibility low thanks to its U/UTP design. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Reinforced strain relief and a snagless latch protector reduce the risk of connector damage during frequent plugging and routing. The 2 m length and red colour make the cable easy to route and identify within cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Home networking — connecting routers, switches and PCs
• Office environments — workstation and peripheral connections
• Patch panels and structured cabling where short run lengths are required

How to use

Insert the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until the latch clicks. Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from high-power electrical lines to reduce interference. For patching, label or colour-code connections as needed; the red jacket helps visual identification. When disconnecting, press the latch rather than pulling on the jacket to preserve the strain relief.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5e cable for gigabit Ethernet connections within the rated distance and avoid running it parallel to mains cables or large electrical equipment. Choose the copper variant for maximum conductivity; copper-clad aluminum may be used where weight or cost is a factor.
