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

The C-TECH CB-PP5-05B UTP Cat5e network cable, 0.5m in length and finished in blue, provides a short patch connection for local networks and devices. Designed for standard Cat5e performance, this cable carries Ethernet signals for data transmission in home, office, and small-network environments. Its UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction and compact form factor make it suitable for tidy patching between switches, routers, modems and networked equipment where a short, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat5e-rated transmission capable of supporting common Ethernet speeds and reliable signal integrity over short distances. Its UTP design reduces crosstalk within the cable pair configuration while keeping the cable flexible for easy routing. The 0.5m length minimises excess cable clutter and helps maintain an organised installation. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a nearby switch or access point
• Patching network ports in office workstations or server racks
• Short runs between a modem and a home gateway
• Temporary or permanent connections for VoIP phones and networked printers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) on both ends
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper
• Jacket colour: blue
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, data transmission

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5m cable for short patching runs where devices are in close proximity; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector. For neat installation, route the cable along cable management channels or behind equipment to reduce strain on the connectors. If connecting to devices that remain powered, attach or detach the cable with care to prevent accidental disconnection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e cable for connections up to its intended short-distance applications. Avoid exposure to excessive heat, mechanical compression, or sharp bends. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider higher category or shielded cable types.
