Microconnect B-UTP50025R networking cable Red 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP50025R RJ-45 Cat5e 0.25m in red is a short patch cable for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It meets Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz, supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses U/UTP (unshielded) construction with latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a compact and reliable connection for small office and home networks and entertainment setups. The 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and is suitable for short patching tasks. Latch protection safeguards the RJ-45 clip during routing, and Cat5e compliance ensures backward compatibility with Cat5 installations while supporting Gigabit speeds under typical conditions.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent devices (switch-to-switch, router-to-modem)
• Short connections to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets
• Home network and small office setups
• Entertainment systems and AV equipment requiring short network links

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the port of the source device (switch, router or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector into the destination device or wall outlet/patch panel. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Because the cable is only 0.25 m long, use it for close-proximity connections where a short patch lead is required.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat5e patch cable for neat, short-distance links inside racks, between devices on a desk or for connecting equipment to nearby patch panels. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and do not use in outdoor or high-interference environments where shielded cabling would be required.
