The Microconnect UTP502 is a 2 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and is backwards compatible with Cat5. The grey jacket and compact design make it suitable for home and small office network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s when used within appropriate network equipment, offers U/UTP construction for reduced interference, and features latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to help prevent connector damage during installation in confined spaces. The 2 m length provides a balance between reach and tidy cable management.

How to use

Identify the devices or patch points to be connected, then plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the second device or the wall/patch panel port. Ensure connectors click into place and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight pinch points. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and do not exceed the recommended maximum run length for Ethernet segments.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use the Microconnect UTP502 with properly rated network equipment and avoid running the cable alongside mains power cables. Replace the cable if the connector latch or jacket is visibly damaged.
