Microconnect B-UTP50025O networking cable Orange 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP50025O is a 0.25 m orange networking cable compliant with Cat5e standards. It uses U/UTP construction with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, is tested to 100 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable includes latch protection to reduce risk of connector damage during installation and is suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers or patch panels in home and small office networks.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable connectivity in compact installations thanks to RJ-45 latch protection and a short 0.25 m length that reduces excess cable clutter. It is backward compatible with Cat5 standards and the orange colour improves identification within a network rack or structured cabling environment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router
• Short links between modem, router and network devices
• Home and small office network connections
• Temporary or test connections in lab and server rooms

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, such as a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.25 m cable for short, direct links to minimise cable slack and improve cable management.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Use the orange colour to mark or segregate specific links in a patch panel or cable bundle; do not exceed recommended cable bend radius and keep away from sources of electromagnetic interference for optimal signal integrity.
