Microconnect B-UTP5005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005Y is a 0.5 m RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. This U/UTP (UTP) cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and a data transfer rate of up to 1000 Mbit/s, and its yellow jacket improves visibility in crowded installations.

Advantages

The cable meets Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5 systems. It uses standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends and includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations. Its compact 0.5 m length is suitable for short interconnects and visible colour coding helps with cable identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to router or modem in small office and home networks
• Patch panel to network device short connections
• Desktop or rack-mounted equipment where a short cable is required
• Entertainment devices and local network peripherals

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices or into the port on a patch panel or wall outlet.

Route the cable to avoid excessive bending or crushing near connectors and keep it away from sources of high electromagnetic interference for best signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e cable for short, visible connections where clear colour identification is beneficial; for longer runs choose a cable with appropriate length and category (Cat5e or higher) to maintain performance.
