Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-025BK Patchcord UTP Cat5e 0.25m Black

The C-TECH CB-PP5-025BK Patchcord UTP Cat5e 0.25m Black is a compact network cable designed for short-distance Ethernet connections. This Cat5e UTP patchcord provides reliable transmission for local area network links where space is limited, offering support for data rates up to 1 Gbps and compatibility with standard RJ45 ports. The cable’s 0.25 m length and black jacket make it suitable for tidy patch panels, switch-to-device links, or connecting equipment in close proximity.

Advantages

This network cable combines the simplified wiring of unshielded twisted pairs with Category 5e performance to deliver stable gigabit-capable connections over short runs. Its short length reduces clutter and crosstalk in dense patch environments, while the robust outer jacket resists wear from frequent insertion and cable movement. The cable is compatible with common networking hardware and requires no special configuration, enabling quick and dependable installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels and short server links
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones, and network printers to nearby ports
• Cable management in rack or workstation setups where short runs are preferred
• Temporary or permanent point-to-point connections within cabinets or equipment racks

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.25 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1 Gbps (over appropriate network hardware)
• Connector: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Color: Black
• Typical use: Patchcord for short-distance Ethernet connections

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking devices until the connector clicks into place. Use the 0.25 m patchcord for short connections between adjacent ports on switches, patch panels, or devices. Avoid excessive bending at the connector ends; maintain gentle curves and ensure connectors are fully seated for reliable contact. No additional configuration is required — the cable transmits data once physically connected to compatible equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the patchcord in indoor environments and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or mechanical strain. If connecting devices across longer distances or in electrically noisy environments, consider using higher-category or shielded cables. Label both ends when organizing multiple short patchcords to simplify maintenance and reduce the risk of disconnecting the wrong link.
