Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-3BK Patchcord UTP Cat5e 3m Black

The C-TECH CB-PP5-3BK Patchcord UTP Cat5e 3m in black is a shield-free network cable engineered for everyday Ethernet connections. With a three-meter length and Cat5e specification, it supports standard Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet links within home and office local area networks. The cable uses UTP construction with RJ45 connectors on both ends, offering a compact, flexible connection between routers, switches, modems, patch panels and networked devices.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides consistent signal transmission and stable data throughput across short to medium runs. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management, while the black jacket resists wear and blends into most environments. UTP design reduces cost and maintains compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. Molded strain relief on the connector ends reduces stress at critical points and helps extend service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or computers in home networks
• Patch connections in office workspaces and small data closets
• Linking networked devices such as modems, printers, IP cameras and NAS
• Temporary cabling for events, testing and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Conductor: Copper (solid or stranded depending on manufacturer batch)
• Supported speeds: Up to 1 Gbps over typical LAN distances
• Applications: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet in short/medium runs

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of mechanical stress; keep it away from heavy power cabling for best signal integrity. For patching in racks or wall outlets, measure and position the cable so the connectors are not under tension. When disconnecting, depress the latch on the plug before pulling to avoid damaging the connector.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, keep run lengths within recommended limits and avoid coiling excess cable tightly. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to organise runs, and replace the cable if connectors or jacket show visible damage.
