Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-1B UTP Cat5e 1m Blue

The C-TECH CB-PP5-1B UTP Cat5e 1m blue network cable is a 1-meter patch cord designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Constructed to Cat5e specifications, this unshielded twisted pair cable supports standard Fast Ethernet and typical Gigabit Ethernet deployments at short patch lengths. The blue jacket identifies the cable within structured cabling runs and helps maintain an organized network layout.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP cable provides consistent transmission performance for typical local area network tasks while minimizing crosstalk through twisted pair construction. Its compact 1-meter length reduces excess slack in patch panels and between devices, improving airflow and reducing clutter. Durable outer insulation and molded connectors offer stable mechanical connection and extended service life under normal office or home use.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and patch panels within racks or desktop setups
• Short-length links in home networks, SOHO and small office environments
• Temporary or permanent patching between network equipment where a 1 m cable is appropriate
• Color-coded installations requiring blue cabling for identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Jacket color: blue
• Typical supported networks: 10/100 Mbps and standard short-run Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, switch, router, modem or patch panel) and insert the opposite connector into the corresponding port on the other device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For best signal integrity, avoid sharp bends, heavy kinks or prolonged compression of the cable, and maintain reasonable separation from high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e cable for short patch connections where a compact, color-coded link is required. For runs beyond typical patch lengths or for installations needing improved shielding and higher headroom for Gigabit+ networks, consider higher category cables or shielded variants.
