Microconnect UTP502S Network Cable Black 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP502S is a 2 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for reliable Ethernet connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. The cable supports Cat5e standard testing up to 100 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5. U/UTP construction reduces interference, and the black jacket provides a discreet appearance for home or office installations.

Advantages

The cable supports data transfer rates suitable for typical Ethernet networks and is rated for Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz. Its U/UTP design helps minimise electromagnetic interference, and latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents connector damage during installations in tight spaces. The 2 m length offers flexibility for linking nearby devices while keeping cable runs tidy.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches
• Linking computers, NAS or printers to a network
• Home networking and small office setups
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid/foil reduced interference)
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.06 kg
• Supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s in typical network environments

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the respective network ports on your devices or wall outlets until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a reliable connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for short to medium runs within offices or homes, keep it away from high-voltage cables and avoid tight kinks. If you need higher bandwidth for long-distance runs, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cables.
