Microconnect B-UTP503S Network Cable Black 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP503S is a 3 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable with U/UTP construction, designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and backward compatible with Cat5, this black cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installations in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat5e performance validated to 100 MHz while supporting gigabit Ethernet over 10/100/1000Base-T(X). Its U/UTP design balances performance and cost for typical home and small office networks, and the integrated latch protection helps prevent connector breakage during installation. At 3 m length and lightweight construction it is convenient for desk, patching and short-run connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting router to switch or modem
• Patch panel or keystone jack terminations
• Home network and small office setups
• Entertainment devices and smart TV connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device (router, switch, modem) and the other end to the target device or to structured cabling (patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet). Ensure the latch snaps into place to secure the connector; the built-in latch protection reduces the chance of accidental breakage when routing the cable through tight openings. For gigabit performance, connect both ends to ports that support 1000Base-T.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep runs away from high-voltage power cables to minimise interference, and use connector ports rated for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) when requiring gigabit speeds.
