Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-3R UTP Cat5e 3m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP5-3R is a 3-meter UTP Cat5e network cable in red designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. This Cat5e patchcord supports standard Ethernet data rates up to 1 Gbps over short to medium distances and reduces crosstalk and external interference through its unshielded twisted pair design. The 3 m length offers flexibility for connecting routers, switches, modems and computers while maintaining a neat, color-coded installation.

Advantages

The cable delivers consistent data transmission with low signal loss and is compatible with common Ethernet devices and network setups. Its durable outer jacket resists wear from everyday handling and its molded RJ-45 connectors provide secure, stable plug-in performance. The red color allows for easy visual identification in patch panels and bundled cable runs, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and network printers to routers or switches
• Patch panel and rack installations where color-coding improves organization
• Home networking, small office and classroom wired networks
• Temporary or permanent connections between network devices within the same room or adjacent rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (UTP)
• Length: 3 meters
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 terminated, molded strain relief
• Color: red
• Bandwidth and performance: suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over specified distances

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and keep the cable routed away from high-voltage power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. For best performance, ensure connectors are clean and ports are free from dust. If using in patch panels or racks, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent stress on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal reliability, use the cable within its intended 3 m length and replace it if the jacket or connectors show signs of damage. Use color-coded cables like this red patchcord to separate network segments and simplify fault finding in multi-cable installations.
