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

The C-TECH CB-PP5-025R is a UTP Cat5e patchcord 0.25m in length finished in red, designed for short-range Ethernet connections. This compact network cable supports reliable data transmission with reduced crosstalk and interference, making it suitable for use in confined racks, patch panels, and desktop setups where space is limited. The cable construction combines flexible jacket material and standard RJ45 connectors to maintain consistent signal integrity for typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit over short runs.

Advantages

The short 0.25m length minimizes cable clutter and improves airflow in dense installations while the Cat5e specification provides adequate bandwidth and reduced interference for common networking tasks. The red jacket allows for simple visual identification and color-coded cable management. Durable connectors and a resilient outer sheath contribute to longer service life under normal office and home usage conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices within server racks or patch panels where runs are very short
• Linking desktop computers, switches, and routers on crowded workstations
• Color-coded network cabling and quick visual identification of specific links
• Temporary setups, testing, or bench environments requiring compact cables

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: Red
• Typical applications: Ethernet networking, short patch connections

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device and the other into the destination device, ensuring each connector clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-tension points; maintain gentle curves to preserve signal integrity. For patch panel installations, fully seat the connector into the panel port until it locks, then secure any cable management clips or ties as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the C-TECH CB-PP5-025R for short, direct connections where excess cable length would cause clutter. Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and avoid repeated sharp bending near the connectors. For permanent installations requiring longer runs or higher performance over distance, consider higher-category cables as appropriate.
