Microconnect B-UTP50025 networking cable Grey 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP50025 is a 0.25 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured infrastructure like patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. This grey U/UTP cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5. It is suitable for small office and home networks as well as entertainment setups and provides reliable data transfer for typical wired Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz ensures compliance with the Cat5e standard while U/UTP construction helps maintain signal integrity. Its short 0.25 m length is convenient for neat patching and close-proximity device connections, and standard RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch or modem in small office/home setups
• Patching between network devices and patch panels or keystone jacks
• Short-distance connections behind desks, entertainment centers, or network racks

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Data rate capability: up to 1000 Mbit/s (depends on network equipment)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device (router, switch or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector to the matching port on the destination device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and do not compress the cable under heavy objects.

Recommendations

Use this 0.25 m Cat5e cable for short, direct connections where a tidy, low-profile link is needed. For longer runs or higher shielding requirements, choose a longer cable or higher category (Cat6/6a) as appropriate for your network bandwidth and environment.
