Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-1R UTP Cat5e 1m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP5-1R UTP Cat5e 1m network cable is a single-meter, unshielded twisted pair cable designed for reliable Ethernet connectivity. Its Cat5e specification supports common local area network speeds and ensures stable data transmission between devices. The red jacket provides clear visual identification within structured cabling setups and helps separate connections by function or location.

Advantages

This UTP Cat5e cable offers consistent signal integrity for typical Ethernet applications, with twisted-pair construction that reduces crosstalk and interference without additional shielding. The 1 m length is convenient for short links between equipment in racks, wall plates or desktop devices, while the colored outer sheath simplifies cable management and visual routing. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers over short distances in home or office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in small rack or cabinet setups
• Desk or workstation cabling where cable length requires minimal slack
• Color-coded installations for easy identification and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector: RJ45-compatible termination
• Conductor arrangement: 4 twisted pairs
• Outer sheath color: Red
• Intended use: Ethernet networking (10/100/1000 Mbps typical compatibility)

How to use

Insert each end of the cable into the RJ45 ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring secure seating until the connector latch clicks. Use the 1 m length for short, direct links between equipment such as a desktop and a switch or between patch panels and switches. Avoid tight bends or kinks near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain optimal signal quality. Verify link status via device LEDs or network diagnostics after connecting.

Usage recommendations

For organized installations, route the cable alongside similarly colored cables or label each end to indicate the connected devices. When used in rack environments, allow gentle bend radius near cable entry points and avoid over-compressing the sheath to prevent long-term damage to the twisted pairs.
