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

The C-TECH CB-PP6-5R Patchcord Cat6 UTP 5m Red is a 5-metre unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for Gigabit Ethernet connections. Its Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared to earlier categories, while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and structured cabling environments. The cable combines flexibility for routing in tight spaces with a construction intended for reliable, consistent data transmission in home, small office and commercial networks.

Advantages

This Cat6 UTP patchcord offers stable signal transmission suitable for 1 Gbps networks and improved performance up to the limits of the Cat6 standard. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical patching scenarios. The cable jacket in red simplifies cable management and fault tracing. Flexible insulation and connector strain relief make installation easier and reduce stress at connection points, increasing service life under normal use.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and office networks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet patching
• Temporary or permanent cabling in server rooms and telecommunication cabinets
• Color-coded installations where visual identification is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (unshielded twisted pair, UTP)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: copper conductors (solid or stranded depending on manufacturer practice)
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends with molded strain relief
• Jacket color: red
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or wall sockets until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radius recommended for Cat6 cabling and avoid running parallel to large power cables to limit electrical interference. For neat installation, secure excess cable length with cable ties or cable management accessories, taking care not to compress the cable jacket excessively.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 patchcord within a structured cabling system designed for Gigabit Ethernet. Avoid stretching the cable and protect connectors from dust and moisture when not in use. When color coding multiple runs, document the function of red cables in your network scheme to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
