Microconnect B-UTP505B Network Cable Blue 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect B-UTP505B is a 5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Tested to Cat5e standards (up to 100 MHz) and backward compatible with Cat5, this blue cable is designed for reliable connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Its U/UTP construction reduces interference and supports typical 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s over compatible network equipment and is manufactured with latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. It is lightweight (0.08 kg) and available in a standard 5 m length, providing a balance between reach and neat cable management. Cat5e testing to 100 MHz ensures compliance with common small office and home network requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches to network ports
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations
• Home networking and small office setups
• Entertainment devices such as smart TVs and network media players

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. When routing the cable through tight spaces, guide the cable gently to avoid stressing the connectors; the built-in latch protection reduces the risk of damage during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended lengths for Ethernet standards and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference. Use proper cable management and strain relief at both ends to prolong connector and cable life.
