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

The MicroConnect UTP505B is a 5 m RJ-45 Cat5e UTP networking cable designed for reliable connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers and the network infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, meets Cat5e specifications tested to 100 MHz, and includes a latch protection on the connector to reduce risk of damage during installation. The cable is unshielded (U/UTP) and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat5e performance tested to 100 MHz while supporting gigabit speeds, offers RJ-45 connectors on both ends for standard terminations, and includes a protected latch to prevent connector damage in tight installation spaces. Its U/UTP design reduces common-mode interference for typical office and home networking environments. The 5 m length and blue color make it suitable for visible routing and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Connecting PCs, NAS devices and entertainment equipment to a LAN

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, modem or NIC) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight kinks, and keep it separated from strong electromagnetic sources when possible. For structured cabling, label both ends according to your patch panel or port scheme.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP cable for standard Ethernet connections up to gigabit speeds in home and small office environments; avoid installing it alongside high-voltage power lines and replace the cable if the connector latch or jacket is visibly damaged.
