Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-05BK Patchcord Cat5e 0.5m Black

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-05BK Patchcord Cat5e is a 0.5 m network cable engineered for short-distance Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat5e standards, this black patchcord supports up to 1 Gbps data rates and includes FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in mixed cabling environments.

Advantages

This patchcord’s Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with common Gigabit Ethernet networks while the FTP shielding improves resistance to crosstalk and external noise. The 0.5 m length suits patch panel-to-switch or device-to-wall-plate connections where a compact, tidy run is required. The black jacket and durable construction provide a professional appearance and reliable mechanical performance for repeated plug cycles.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet setups requiring Gigabit speeds
• Environments where reduced interference is needed due to nearby electrical equipment
• Equipment racks and structured cabling installations with limited cable length

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1 Gbps
• Color: Black
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 (standard Ethernet patchcord connectors)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (such as a switch, router or network interface on a computer) and the other connector to the corresponding port on a patch panel, wall outlet or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and that cable routing avoids sharp bends or compression. For best signal performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the installation and avoid running it parallel to power cables for extended distances.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e FTP patchcord for short, visible connections in racks or desktop environments where a neat appearance and reduced interference are priorities. Verify compatibility with existing network hardware before installation and replace the cable if connector contacts show wear or if performance degrades.
