Microconnect B-UTP515R Netwerkkabel rood 15 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP515R is a 15 m red networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, built to Cat5e (UTP) standards. It provides a reliable wired connection between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to structured infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to 100 MHz, is backward compatible with Cat5 and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers U/UTP construction for consistent signal transmission and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its 15 m length and bright red color make it easy to route and identify in home or small office network environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches
• Patch panel or keystone jack terminations
• Home networks and small office setups
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where a 15 m length is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested to 100 MHz)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pair, overall U/UTP designation)
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.19 kg

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or infrastructure (router, switch, modem, patch panel or wall outlet). Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For rack or panel installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect B-UTP515R for standard Ethernet connections in home and small office networks. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources to minimise interference. For installations requiring higher bandwidth or shielded protection, consider using Cat6 or shielded variants.
