Microconnect B-UTP503O Network Cable Orange 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP503O is a 3 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable connections between switches, modems, routers and wall outlets or patch panels. Manufactured to Cat5e (100 MHz) specifications and backwards compatible with Cat5, the U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference while latch protection helps prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify within structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s under typical Ethernet conditions and is tested to 100 MHz to meet Cat5e standards. The U/UTP shielding and consistent RJ-45 terminations ensure stable signal transmission and reduced crosstalk. A reinforced latch protector prevents accidental damage to the plug during routing and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems in home or small office networks
• Patch panel and keystone jack terminations in structured cabling
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet links for network devices and media players

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices or into a patch panel/keystone jack. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protector engaged. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet length limits and avoid kinking the jacket.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections in home and small office environments; for gigabit networks ensure proper terminations and avoid excessive cable length or interference sources for optimal throughput.
