Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-2R UTP Cat5e 2m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP5-2R UTP Cat5e network cable is a 2-meter red patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Built to Cat5e specifications, this unshielded twisted pair cable supports high-speed data transmission for typical home and office networks. Its 2 m length and flexible jacket make routing and connection between switches, routers, computers and other networking devices convenient while the red colour helps with visual identification and cable management.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP cable provides consistent performance for Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit Ethernet setups within short link distances. The flexible outer jacket and standard RJ45 terminations enable easy installation and minimize strain at connector points. The red colour improves visibility in patch panels and network racks, which simplifies troubleshooting and organization without affecting electrical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network printers
• Patch panels and structured cabling in small offices or homes
• Temporary or permanent network links where 2 m length is appropriate
• Color-coded cable management and identification in racks and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: Red
• Typical uses: Ethernet data transmission (10/100/1000 Mbps depending on network equipment and distance)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors click securely into place to establish a stable link. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and compression; leave some slack near connection points to reduce strain. Verify link activity via device indicators or network diagnostics to confirm successful connection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the UTP cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep it away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Use appropriate cable management such as clips or ties to prevent excessive tension and maintain clear colour-coded organization in racks or work areas.
