Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-025 UTP Cat5e 0.25m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP5-025 UTP Cat5e network cable is a 0.25 m gray patch cable designed for short-distance connections between networking devices. Constructed to meet Cat5e standards, this UTP cable supports reliable data transmission in small or crowded setups where a longer cable would be impractical. Its compact length reduces cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity for typical Ethernet applications.

Advantages

This short Cat5e UTP cable minimizes electromagnetic interference through twisted-pair construction and quality shielding of each pair's twist rate. The compact 0.25 m length is practical for patch panels, network switches and devices positioned close together, reducing excess cable and improving rack organization. The gray PVC jacket offers basic protection against abrasion and bending while keeping a neutral appearance suitable for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Connecting nearby network devices such as routers, modems and servers
• Small office desks or home network setups with limited space
• Temporary connections during testing, configuration or diagnostics

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Topology: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Gray
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Supports Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps under Cat5e performance parameters
• Jacket material: PVC

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use this cable for short links where devices are within close proximity, avoiding excessive bending or sharp kinks to maintain performance. If routing within a rack or cabinet, run the cable alongside other patch cords to keep the installation tidy and accessible for maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this Cat5e patch cable for short-distance connections only and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for debris before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider higher category or shielded cable types.
