Microconnect B-UTP50025G networking cable Green 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP50025G RJ-45 Cat5e 0.25m Green is a short U/UTP patch cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to the structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable meets Cat5e specifications with testing up to 100 MHz, supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, and features RJ-45 connectors with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP cable provides backward compatibility with Cat5 installations while offering improved signal performance up to the Cat5e standard. The short 0.25 m length is suitable for neat connections between closely located devices, and the green PVC jacket helps identify cabling runs. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors prevents accidental clip breakage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch to a router or modem in a rack or desktop setup
• Linking devices to patch panels or keystone jacks
• Small office and home network connections
• Short patch runs in entertainment systems and AV racks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall braid absent)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Green
• Weight: 0.01 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the corresponding port on the target device, patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place and route the cable to avoid tight bends or kinks. For installations in confined spaces, use the latch protection to prevent clip damage during insertion.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for short patch connections only; for longer runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference consider higher-category or shielded cables. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable with appropriate ties to prevent strain on the connectors.
