Microconnect UTP5003Y Netwerkkabel geel 0,3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5003Y networking cable Yellow 0.3 m Cat5e U/UTP is a short patch cable designed for reliable local data connections. Compliant with Cat5e performance, the cable uses unshielded twisted pairs with overall U/UTP construction to reduce external interference while keeping flexibility for tight routing. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs for immediate connection to network ports, switches, routers and patch panels. The bright yellow jacket provides high visibility for quick identification in dense cabling runs and small installations.

Advantages

This 0.3 m Cat5e cable provides a compact and tidy solution for connecting devices at close proximity without excess slack. The U/UTP structure maintains signal integrity for typical Ethernet speeds supported by Cat5e, while RJ-45 terminations ensure wide compatibility across network equipment. The yellow outer sheath improves cable management by making the connection easy to locate and trace among other lines.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, VoIP phones or network printers to nearby switches or wall ports
• Short patching in server racks, patch panels and network closets
• Temporary or permanent links where a visible cable color is helpful for identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Topology: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall jacket)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds supported by Cat5e (up to 1 Gbps in typical deployments)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices, such as a switch, router, computer or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to maintain a secure physical and electrical connection. Use the short length to reduce cable clutter and avoid excessive bending or twisting near the connector ends to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For best results, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable diameter. Use the yellow color to mark specific circuits or device groups within patch panels; replace if the jacket shows visible damage or if connections become intermittent.
