Microconnect UTP510R Network Cable Red 10 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP510R is a red 10 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed to connect switches, modems, routers and other network devices to each other or to patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. The cable meets Cat5e standards and is tested up to 100 MHz, offering backwards compatibility with Cat5 and a U/UTP construction for reliable data transmission in small office, home network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

The Microconnect Cat5e cable provides tested performance up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5 equipment. It uses a U/UTP design that reduces interference for typical Ethernet applications, and both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with latch protection to help prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The 10 m length and red colour aid identification and flexible routing within racks or rooms.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network cabling
• Audio/video and entertainment network connections
• Temporary or semi-permanent connections requiring a visible cable colour

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a device (switch, router, modem or PC) and the other connector into the target port on a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure the connectors click into place via their latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress and maintain recommended bend radius for UTP cables to preserve signal performance.

Recommendations

For reliable throughput, use this Cat5e cable for installations where 100 Mbps Ethernet or lower is sufficient. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference, and label both ends if used in larger installations to simplify identification.
