Microconnect B-UTP5005B networking cable Blue 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005B is a 0.5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. It uses U/UTP construction, is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and is backward compatible with Cat5. The cable supports typical 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network applications and is finished in blue with latch protection on the plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat5e specification and U/UTP construction provide stable data transmission for small office and home networks. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad compatibility with network equipment, while the latch protection helps prevent accidental connector breakage during installation. At 0.5 m length the cable is suited for short patching runs where neat, low-profile connections are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or network outlet
• Short links between router and modem or nearby devices
• Home and small office Ethernet and entertainment systems

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the appropriate network port on your devices (for example switch, modem, router or patch panel) until the latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m cable for short patch connections where devices are close together or when creating neat internal rack or desk wiring. Ensure ports are powered and configured for the intended network speed; the cable supports up to gigabit speeds when used within compatible infrastructure.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the 0.5 m length for short, tidy connections and choose longer Cat5e or higher-category cables for longer runs.
