Microconnect B-UTP5005O networking cable Orange 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005O RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Orange is a 0.5 m U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for wired network connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. It meets the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, offering reliable data transmission and backward compatibility with Cat5 installations. The bright orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in crowded cable runs.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides stable performance for small office, home network and entertainment applications. The U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference, and the product includes latch protection to help prevent damage to the connector during tight installations. Short 0.5 m length reduces clutter and signal loss for close-proximity connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a nearby device
• Patch panel or keystone jack patching in local racks
• Home network and multimedia setups
• Temporary or permanent short-link connections in offices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your source device (for example a modem or switch) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure the latches on the plugs fully engage with the ports to secure the connection. For installations with limited space, guide the cable carefully to avoid excessive bending near the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results keep the cable run short and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Do not exceed the bend radius near the connectors and use the orange colour to identify the cable in structured wiring environments.
