Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-1BK Patchcord Cat5e 1m Black

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-1BK Patchcord Cat5e 1m Black is a one-meter network patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Constructed to meet Cat5e performance standards, this patchcord supports typical Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit Ethernet installations when used within Cat5e system limits. The cable has FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and a black outer jacket for a discreet, professional appearance.

Advantages

This Cat5e patchcord combines a compact 1 m length with FTP shielding to help maintain signal integrity in areas with moderate interference. The cable’s standardized RJ45 terminations and flexible jacket make it easy to route and connect between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. The black color minimizes visual distraction in cabinets and beneath desks while the construction aims for consistent electrical performance across short horizontal runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and networked devices to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch links in small office racks
• Home networking between modem, router and media devices
• Temporary connections for testing or setup in IT environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 1 m
• Shielding: Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Outer jacket color: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and compatible with many Gigabit links within Cat5e limits

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension along the cable; maintain gentle curves and keep the cable length appropriate for the run. When connecting to high-speed installations, verify that all other cabling and network components meet required category specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e FTP patchcord for short links where interference mitigation is helpful and a compact cable is preferred. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal quality.
