Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-1R Patchcord Cat5e FTP 1m Red

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-1R Patchcord Cat5e FTP 1m Red is a 1-metre Ethernet cable built to provide standard Cat5e performance with foil shielding (FTP). Designed for straightforward wired network connections, this red patchcord connects devices such as computers, switches, routers and network panels while maintaining signal integrity over short runs in home and office environments.

Advantages

The FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, improving data transmission stability in environments with potential sources of noise. The Cat5e specification supports reliable Fast Ethernet and gigabit-capable links over typical short-distance patching scenarios. A one-metre length offers a compact solution for tidy cabling between nearby equipment, and the colored jacket helps with visual cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in small offices or home networks
• Patching between rack-mounted equipment and wall outlets
• Short-distance data connections where interference reduction is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: standard RJ45 terminated (8P8C)
• Color: red

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other into the destination device or network interface. Ensure both ends are fully seated until the connector latch clicks. Use the one-metre length to avoid excess slack; if routing through panels or cable organizers, route the cable gently without sharp bends to maintain performance. For installations involving multiple cables, label or group by color to simplify future changes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e FTP patchcord for short interconnections and in areas where foil shielding can help reduce nearby electromagnetic interference. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to mains power lines; maintain gentle bend radii and avoid kinking to preserve cable integrity.
