Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5-5R UTP Cat5e 5m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP5-5R is a UTP Cat5e patchcord in red, 5 meters long, designed for wired Ethernet connections in home and office networks. This network cable provides reliable data transmission for typical local area network (LAN) applications and supports standard Cat5e performance characteristics. Its flexible jacket and standard connectors make it easy to route and connect between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints.

Advantages

The Cat5e UTP construction reduces crosstalk and maintains signal integrity for data rates up to the Cat5e specification. A 5 meter length offers a balance between reach and cable management in rack, desk and wall installations. The red outer jacket provides clear visual identification of a network segment or function. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with existing Ethernet equipment and straightforward plug-and-play installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a local network
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office or home server racks
• Temporary or permanent cabling where color-coded identification is useful
• VoIP phones, network printers and other Ethernet-enabled devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair, UTP)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Jacket color: red
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds up to Cat5e specification (1000BASE-T where supported)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the connector to maintain signal integrity. For installations in racks or along walls, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the cable core.

Usage recommendations

Use the red cable for visual separation of critical network segments or to mark specific services. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and maintain proper bend radius. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
