Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-1B Patchcord Cat5e 1m Blue

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-1B Patchcord Cat5e 1m Blue is a 1‑metre network cable designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. Constructed to the Cat5e standard with FTP (foil shielded twisted pair) protection, this patchcord supports gigabit Ethernet speeds and helps reduce electromagnetic interference for more consistent signal quality. The blue jacket provides visible cable identification while the compact 1 m length is suitable for patch panels, switches and short equipment connections.

Advantages

FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving stability in environments with multiple cables or electrical equipment. Compliance with Cat5e performance parameters enables data rates up to 1 Gbps over typical Ethernet environments. The short 1 m length minimises excess cable clutter and signal attenuation for short links, while the flexible jacket and molded connectors support repeated insertions and routine handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within racks and desktop setups
• Patch panel to switch links in server closets and network cabinets
• Short runs between wall outlets and networked devices
• Testing and temporary network setups where 1 m length is sufficient

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (supports up to 1 Gbps)
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: standard RJ‑45 terminated on both ends
• Jacket colour: blue
• Suitable conductor type: twisted pair copper

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the clip engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on connectors; leave a small loop to relieve tension if devices move. For shielded installations, ensure proper grounding practices are observed at patch panels or equipment to maintain the effectiveness of the FTP shielding. Test the link with a network tester after installation to verify connectivity and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e FTP patchcord for short, high‑quality links where interference mitigation is important. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
