Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6-5B UTP Cat6 5m Blue

The C-TECH CB-PP6-5B UTP Cat6 5m Blue patchcord is a 5-metre unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed to provide reliable Ethernet connections for home and office environments. Constructed to Cat6 performance standards, the cable supports high-speed data transmission for typical LAN applications and connection between networking equipment such as routers, switches, patch panels and computers. Its blue jacket and flexible design simplify installation and cable management in racks, workstations and multimedia setups.

Advantages

This Cat6 UTP cable delivers improved bandwidth capacity and reduced crosstalk compared with earlier categories, enabling stable signal transmission for common Ethernet speeds. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for desk- and floor-level connections. The cable's flexible outer sheath and standardized RJ45 termination ensure compatibility with a wide range of networking devices, while durable construction provides consistent performance over repeated use.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and IP devices to routers or switches
• Patch panel to switch or switch to router connections in small networks
• Home networking and office workstations
• Audio/video streaming and online gaming where stable LAN connections are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (UTP)
• Length: 5 metres
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: blue outer jacket
• Typical applications: Ethernet LAN, data and voice transmission

How to use

Route the cable between network devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference. Plug RJ45 connectors firmly into the corresponding network ports on your router, switch or device until they click. For fixed installations, secure the cable along cable trays or use cable ties to maintain neat runs and avoid strain on the connectors. For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for structured cabling and avoid excessive twisting or crushing of the cable.

Usage recommendations

Use the Cat6 cable for typical gigabit Ethernet networks and ensure connectors are clean and undamaged before use. When placing near power lines or electrical equipment, allow separation to reduce interference. For installations requiring higher shielding or extended distances, consider shielded cables or higher-category cabling as appropriate.
