Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP5F-5 Patchcord Cat5e RJ45 5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP5F-5 Patchcord Cat5e RJ45 5m Gray is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for stable wired network connections in home and office environments. Constructed to Cat5e standards, the cable supports typical local area network speeds and provides a straightforward RJ45-to-RJ45 connection across a 5-meter span. The gray jacket and flexible construction allow for neat routing and installation in patch panels, switches, routers and desktop equipment.

Advantages

This Cat5e patchcord includes foil shielding (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in environments with nearby power or data cabling. The stranded conductors and molded RJ45 plugs offer flexibility and strain relief for frequent routing and reconfiguration. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for common workstation and rack-to-desk connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to network device links
• Network setups where reduced interference is required (FTP)
• Temporary and semi-permanent cabling in co-working and lab spaces

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e compliant cable for Ethernet networks
• Shielding: Foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) construction
• Connectors: RJ45 male plugs on both ends
• Length: 5 meters
• Conductor type: Stranded copper for flexibility
• Color: Gray outer jacket
• Typical use: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet links within specified cable length limits

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; keep a gentle bend radius and secure the cable with clips or ties as needed. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines over long distances and ensure connectors are fully seated in network devices.

Usage recommendations

Use this FTP Cat5e patchcord for reliable wired connections between network devices at distances up to 5 meters. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs become damaged. For installations requiring permanent wiring or higher performance over longer distances, consider higher-category or solid-core cabling designed for structured cabling.
