Microconnect B-UTP501 netwerkkabel grijs 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP501 is a 1 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz). The cable is grey and includes latch protection on the connectors to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces. It is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations and commonly used in small office, home network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat5e performance tested to 100 MHz with U/UTP construction to limit interference and ensure stable connections. RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide universal compatibility with Ethernet ports, and the integrated latch protection reduces the risk of connector breakage during installation. Its 1 m length and lightweight design make it convenient for short link connections within racks, desktops or home entertainment systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices or into the structured cabling outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or interference from power cables. For wall or patch panel installations, guide the cable carefully through available openings to prevent strain on the connector and latch.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e cable for reliable short-distance connections. For longer runs or installations requiring higher bandwidth and future-proofing, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cables. Store and route the cable to avoid excessive bending and protect the connector latch during installation.
