Microconnect B-UTP501O Network Cable Orange 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect B-UTP501O RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Orange is a 1 metre U/UTP (effectively UTP) networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for device-to-device and device-to-infrastructure connections. It supports the Cat5e standard (tested up to 100 MHz) and offers a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable features latch protection on the connectors and a bright orange jacket for easy identification in installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable connectivity for small office and home networks, back-compatible performance with Cat5 equipment, and has connector latch protection to reduce the risk of clip damage during installation in tight spaces. The 1 m length and orange colour make it convenient for short patching runs and easy visual management.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, modems, routers and network devices
• Patching to patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets
• Home and small office networks
• Short high-speed connections and equipment interlinks
