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

The Microconnect UTP503S RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable (3 m, black) provides a reliable connection between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports common home and small office networking and entertainment applications and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable includes latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

Cat5e specification and testing up to 100 MHz ensure stable signal transmission for typical Ethernet applications. U/UTP construction helps reduce external interference. The 3 m length balances reach and neat cable management, while the black jacket provides a discreet, modern appearance. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors protects the plugs during routing and installation.

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, modem or switch) and the other into the destination device or network outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; secure as needed with cable ties or clips for tidy installation. For connections through patch panels or keystone jacks, insert the cable into the appropriate port and verify link/activity LEDs on network devices to confirm connectivity.

Recommendations

Use the cable for distances within its specification (3 m). Avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For installations requiring higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider Cat6 or higher-category cabling.
