Microconnect UTP505R Netwerkkabel rood 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP505R Networking Cable Red 5 m Cat5e U/UTP RJ-45 is a 5 m patch cable for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers. Built to Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5. It uses U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends; the red jacket helps identify runs in a rack or workspace.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers tested performance to 100 MHz, reliable RJ-45 connectors on each end, and U/UTP construction for standard unshielded twisted-pair installations. The cable includes latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Its 5 m length provides flexibility for desk-to-wall or equipment-to-patch-panel connections, and the red colour aids visual identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, modems and network devices
• Small office and home network setups
• Patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet connections
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a visible cable colour is useful

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router, modem or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends. For installation through tight spaces, guide the cable carefully to protect the latch and use the integrated latch protection if present. Test the link after installation using network test tools or by verifying connectivity on connected devices.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs under recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet links, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines to reduce interference, and use proper cable management to prevent stress on connectors. Replace the cable if the connector latch or jacket is visibly damaged.
