Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6-5 Patchcord Cat6 UTP 5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6-5 Patchcord Cat6 UTP 5m in gray is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections over short to medium distances. At 5 meters length, this patchcord connects switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints while supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds and reducing signal crosstalk compared to lower category cables. The cable’s gray jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office racks, residential installations and data cabinets.

Advantages

This Cat6 UTP patchcord delivers consistent data transfer rates and improved noise immunity compared with Cat5e solutions, supporting applications that require stable network throughput. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-wall and rack-to-equipment connections without excess cable slack. The cable’s stranded core provides better flexibility for frequent repositioning of connected devices, while the standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and IP phones to switches or wall outlets
• Linking network equipment in office racks and server rooms at short to medium distances
• Home networking for routers, smart TVs, gaming consoles and media players
• Patch panel and keystone jack connections in structured cabling setups

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 5 meters
• Conductor type: stranded copper for flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated
• Color: gray
• Typical use: Gigabit Ethernet and PoE-compatible networks

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or wall outlet and the other into the device requiring a network connection. Ensure both connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as unshielded electrical motors or high-voltage power lines. When routing through cable trays or conduits, allow gentle curves and avoid compressing the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 patchcord for in-room and rack-to-equipment cabling where a 5 m reach is sufficient. For permanent long-run installations consider solid-core cabling for horizontal runs and reserve stranded patchcords for flexible connections. Test connections with a network tester after installation to verify continuity and link speed.
