Microconnect B-UTP50025Y networking cable Yellow 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP50025Y is a 0.25 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for reliable short-range Ethernet connections. This U/UTP (UTP) patch cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and offers compatibility with Cat5 systems. It is suitable for linking switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets in home and small office networks. The cable features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces and comes in yellow for easy identification.

Advantages

The cable provides tested Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5. Its RJ-45 connectors on both ends allow plug-and-play connection between networking devices, while the short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter. Latch protection on the connectors helps prevent accidental damage during installation. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to trace among other cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch or modem over short distances
• Patch panel to device connections in small racks or wall outlets
• Home network and small office Ethernet links
• Temporary or permanent connections where cable length under 0.5 m is needed

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (router, switch, modem or computer) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the target device or wall outlet. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. For installations in confined spaces, guide the connector gently to avoid bending the latch; latch protection helps reduce the risk of breakage during insertion and removal.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Use this 0.25 m cable for short patching tasks close to devices or panels; choose longer Cat5e or higher-category cables if connections exceed the recommended distance or require future-proofing.
