Microconnect B-UTP5005W netwerkkabel wit 0,5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005W is a 0.5 m networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, compliant with the Cat5e standard. It supports testing up to 100 MHz and is suitable for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable uses U/UTP construction and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations, offering a compact white cable option for home and small office networks.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission for typical Ethernet applications and is tested to Cat5e (100 MHz) standards. The integrated latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Short 0.5 m length minimises excess cable and clutter, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad compatibility with network devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch
• Linking a modem to a router or wall outlet
• Short patch connections between network devices and patch panels
• Home and small office Ethernet and entertainment setups

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Data rate support (manufacturer summary): up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.006 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices (for example, router to switch or modem to router). For connections to structured cabling, insert one end into the keystone jack or patch panel port and the other into the device. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection and avoid pulling the cable at sharp angles to prevent stress on the connector.

Recommendations

Use the 0.5 m Microconnect Cat5e cable for short, direct connections where excess cable should be minimised; avoid stretching the cable and keep it away from strong electrical interference sources to maintain optimal performance.
