Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-05 UTP Cat5e 0.5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP5-05 UTP Cat5e network cable in gray is a short, reliable patch cable designed for stable data transmission over Ethernet networks. At 0.5 m length, it is intended for close-proximity connections between devices such as computers, routers, switches and patch panels. Constructed to the Cat5e standard with UTP (unshielded twisted pair) wiring, the cable supports common home and office network speeds and provides a compact solution where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

This 0.5 m UTP Cat5e cable combines compact size and standardized wiring to deliver consistent data transfer for short links. The gray outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home environments. Its Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks when used within typical cabling distance limits, while the short length reduces signal attenuation and clutter in dense setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer to a nearby router or switch
• Linking network equipment in racks or small cabinets
• Short patch connections on patch panels and wall outlets
• Temporary or permanent point-to-point links where short distance is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Gray
• Connector type: 8P8C (commonly referred to as RJ45 compatible)
• Suitable for: Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance (including Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in typical conditions)

How to use

Plug one end of the cable into the Ethernet port of the device you wish to connect and the other end into the port of the router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and that both devices are powered on. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and place the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as unshielded power supplies or large motors. Use cable management clips or ties to secure the short cable and prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e UTP cable for short-distance connections where minimal cable slack is preferred. For installations requiring higher shielding or longer runs, consider shielded or higher-category cables. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the outer jacket or contacts show wear.
