Microconnect B-UTP505R netwerkkabel rood 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP505R is a 5 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5. It features U/UTP construction to reduce interference and comes in a red jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable wired connectivity for home and small office networks, supports gigabit Ethernet speeds over short distances, and is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. U/UTP shielding helps minimise crosstalk and external interference, while the standardized Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with existing network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• Entertainment devices and media players requiring Ethernet connectivity
• Temporary or permanent desktop connections for PCs and workstations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other plug to the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without tight bends or sharp kinks and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power cables to reduce interference. Verify link status on connected devices and run network tests if needed.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for gigabit-capable connections within the specified 5 m length; for longer runs or environments with higher electromagnetic interference consider higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) or additional shielding.
