Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-5 UTP Cat5e 5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP5-5 UTP Cat5e 5m Gray patchcord is a 5-meter unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for stable Ethernet connections. Manufactured for general networking use, this Cat5e cable supports typical home and office data transmission requirements and provides a straightforward way to connect computers, routers, switches and other network devices over short to medium distances. The gray jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible cable runs.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP cable offers reliable signal integrity for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps network segments where Cat5e performance is appropriate. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing excess slack while allowing flexible placement of equipment. The molded RJ45 connectors and strain relief at each end help protect the conductor terminations from mechanical stress and frequent plug cycles. Constructed with standardized pair twist rates and insulation, the cable provides predictable electrical characteristics for easier installation and testing.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to routers or switches
• Linking network switches within server racks or office cabinets over short distances
• Home network setups including smart TVs, media players and game consoles
• Temporary or permanent patch connections at workstations and network points

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends with molded boots and strain relief
• Color: Gray jacket
• Support: Suitable for 10/100/1000BASE-T networks where Cat5e is compatible
• Conductor type: Copper (solid/stranded as per standard patchcord construction)

How to use

Identify the network ports on your devices and insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding socket until it clicks. Use the 5 m cable to route between devices while avoiding tight bends and sharp edges that could damage the jacket or internal pairs. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electrical interference sources such as unshielded power cabling, fluorescent ballasts, or large motors. When unplugging, press the connector tab and pull the connector straight out rather than pulling on the cable sheath to avoid stressing the termination.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid exceeding the maximum recommended channel lengths when combining this patchcord with other cabling segments. Test connections with a network tester if precise certification is required for installation records. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear or if intermittent connectivity issues occur.
