Microconnect B-UTP5005G networking cable Green 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005G RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m is a green U/UTP network patch cable for connecting devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling through a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this 0.5 m cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable includes a latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable Cat5e performance with U/UTP construction, RJ-45 connectors on both ends and compact 0.5 m length for short connections. It is suitable for home and small office network and entertainment setups, provides backward compatibility with Cat5, and features a protected latch to improve connector durability during installation. Its green colour allows easy visual identification in patch bays and cable runs.

Suitable for

• Short device-to-device connections (switch to router, modem to router)
• Connecting devices to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home networks and small office network wiring
• Entertainment systems and media devices

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices or into the patch panel/wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place using the protected latch. Use the 0.5 m length for short runs where devices are close together to avoid excess cable slack. Confirm network link and speed settings on connected devices to match intended 10/100/1000Base-T(X) operation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources, and use the cable for short connections where a 0.5 m length is appropriate. The protected latch reduces connector damage risk but handle connectors carefully when routing through confined spaces.
