Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-05BK patchcord UTP Cat5e 0.5m black

The C-TECH CB-PP5-05BK patchcord is a 0.5 m UTP Cat5e network cable in black, intended for short-distance Ethernet connections. Constructed with Category 5e twisted pairs and standard RJ45 terminations, the cable provides a compact, low-profile link between routers, switches, patch panels and network devices in constrained spaces. The design emphasizes consistent signal transfer and basic crosstalk suppression suitable for typical home and office networks.

Advantages

The cable delivers reliable 100/1000 Mbps performance over short runs, using unshielded twisted pair geometry to minimize interference in everyday environments. Its compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and improves cable management in racks and desktop setups. Durable molded connectors and strain-relief boots help maintain a stable connection during repeated insertions and movement.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in patch panels, switches and routers where short link lengths are required
• Linking desktop computers, IP phones and networked peripherals in office or home workstations
• Temporary network setups, testing, or bench connections where a short, reliable cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends, molded plug with strain relief
• Color: Black
• Supported speeds: Up to 1 Gbps typical for Cat5e under suitable conditions
• Application: Ethernet networking for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T environments (short runs)

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector firmly into the respective device ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m patchcord to connect adjacent ports on switches, patch panels or devices on the same desk to avoid excess cable slack. Route the cable through cable management elements or along edges to prevent kinks and avoid running it close to strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e patchcord for short link requirements within racks or workstations. Verify port negotiation settings on connected devices to ensure proper speed and duplex. Replace the cable if connector damage or persistent link errors appear; avoid sharp bends and pulling at the connector to prolong service life.
