Microconnect B-UTP5005S networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005S is a 0.5 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for reliable data connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or wall outlets. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and is backward compatible with Cat5. The compact black cable includes latch protection to reduce connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides a short, flexible connection with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, suitable for patching in racks, connecting network equipment or linking devices at close range. Its U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity. The Cat5e rating and 100 MHz testing ensure compatibility with common Ethernet speeds, while the latch protection extends connector durability during frequent insertions and constrained installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router to modem in cabinets
• Short runs between network devices on desks or in entertainment setups
• Patching within wall outlets or keystone jacks

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports of the devices you want to link (for example switch to router, or modem to patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or kinks and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e cable for short-distance connections within racks, desks or entertainment systems. Avoid excessive cable tension and repeated sharp bending near the connectors to prolong life; replace the cable if the latch or connector shows visible damage.
