Microconnect B-UTP520Y Netwerkkabel geel 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP520Y is a 20 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and tested to the Cat5e standard of 100 MHz, this yellow patch cable provides a visible, reliable link between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It is backwards compatible with Cat5 and includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, offers U/UTP construction for balanced signal transmission, and comes in a highly visible yellow colour to simplify identification. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and latch protection improve durability and ease of installation. The 20 m length suits longer runs without additional patching.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels and wall outlets
• Home and small office networks
• Entertainment systems and media streaming setups
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a 20 m Cat5e cable

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested to 100 MHz)
• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 — both ends
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall U)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.236 kg
• Compatibility: Backwards compatible with Cat5

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the receiving device, patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; if running through conduits or tight spaces use the latch protection to reduce risk of snags.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit connections, keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet distances and avoid close parallel runs alongside high-voltage power lines. Use the yellow colour to label or distinguish this cable in multi-cable installations.
