Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-025BK Patchcord Cat5e 0.25m Black

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-025BK Patchcord Cat5e 0.25m in black is a short network cable designed for reliable wired connections in compact setups. It conforms to Cat5e standards and uses FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, supporting stable data transfer and network performance over short distances. The 0.25 m length makes it suitable for patch panels, switch-to-device connections, and tidy cable routing where minimal slack is required.

Advantages

FTP shielding provides an additional layer of protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electronic equipment. The Cat5e specification supports typical Ethernet speeds used in many home and office networks. Its short length minimizes cable clutter and improves cable management in dense rack or desktop configurations. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily with other network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch to a server or workstation over a short distance
• Patch panel to network equipment connections in cabinets and racks
• Desktop or home networking setups where minimal cable length is required
• Temporary or permanent links between nearby devices to reduce excess cable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e cabling standard
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Black
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends (standard 8P8C)
• Application: Ethernet networking, data transmission over short runs

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, such as switches, routers, patch panels, or computers. Ensure connectors click into place and that ports are compatible with Cat5e wiring. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-power electrical lines to limit potential interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to secure the patchcord and maintain an organized layout.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat5e FTP patchcord for close-proximity connections where reduced cable slack and improved shielding are beneficial; avoid stretching the cable and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve performance.
