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

The C-TECH CB-PP5-05R UTP Cat5e network cable is a 0.5 m red patch cord intended for short-range Ethernet connections. This Cat5e cable supports reliable data transmission for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks where a compact, flexible link is required. Its short length and bright red jacket help organize connections in cramped racks, wall outlets, or desktop setups while reducing cable clutter and signal cross-talk common in longer runs.

Advantages

This UTP Cat5e cable provides stable performance for typical LAN and home networking tasks and is manufactured to meet standard twisted-pair construction for reduced interference. The half-meter length is convenient for connecting switches, patch panels, routers, and network devices located close to each other. The red insulation improves visibility for easy identification and cable management. Connectors are pre-terminated to industry-standard RJ45 pinout for plug-and-play compatibility with network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch ports and patch panels
• Connecting router to modem or nearby network devices
• Desktop or wall-mounted network outlet installations in tight spaces
• Color-coded cable organization in small server closets or AV setups

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat5e, supports up to Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Red jacket
• Connector: RJ45 terminated, 8P8C compatible
• Conductor: Stranded copper for flexibility

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other into the second device to establish a network link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to guarantee a secure connection. For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable. The short 0.5 m length is intended for connections where devices are close together; do not use this cable for long-distance runs.

Usage recommendations

Use the red color to mark specific network segments or critical device links for easy identification. Keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to minimize electromagnetic interference and replace cables showing physical damage or loose connectors to maintain reliable network performance.
