Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-3 Patchcord Cat5e FTP 3m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-3 Patchcord Cat5e FTP 3m Gray is a 3-meter network cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. Built to Cat5e FTP specification, the cable incorporates foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission for typical Ethernet applications. The cable’s gray jacket and standard RJ45 terminations make it suitable for patch panels, switches, routers, and network sockets where a compact, flexible connection is required.

Advantages

This Cat5e FTP patchcord provides reduced interference compared with unshielded alternatives thanks to its foil-screened construction, which helps maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic devices. The 3-meter length offers a balance between reach and cable management, while the flexible outer sheath allows for neat routing in racks and under desks. Terminated with standard connectors, the cable is ready for plug-and-play use without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet connections in small office and home setups
• Temporary or permanent cabling in network closets and equipment racks
• Environments where reduced EMI and crosstalk improve connection stability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Gray
• Conductor: Twisted pair copper conductors
• Shielding: Foil overall shield to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Connectors: Standard RJ45 terminated at both ends
• Typical use: Ethernet networking up to Cat5e performance levels

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and compressive forces; leave gentle curves to preserve the twisted pair geometry and shielding effectiveness. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to keep the patchcord organized and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e FTP patchcord in typical Ethernet environments where distances are within the 3-meter length and interference suppression is beneficial. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, and do not run the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize noise. Replace the cable if connector clips are damaged or if transmission errors are detected during normal network diagnostics.
