Microconnect B-UTP5015 networking cable Grey 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5015 is a 1.5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, designed for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, modems or wall outlets and patch panels. It uses U/UTP (unshielded) cabling and is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz). The grey cable supports typical home and small office network and entertainment setups and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a reliable wired connection with latch-protected RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology for flexible deployment and is lightweight and easy to route thanks to its 1.5 m length and slim profile.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or network switch to a patch panel or wall jack
• Linking computers, game consoles or smart TVs to a home or small office network
• Short runs between network devices in closets, under desks or behind AV cabinets

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (router, switch, modem, computer or AV equipment) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the opposite device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure the connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; when terminating through tight spaces, use the latch protection to prevent damage to the plug.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for runs up to its tested frequency and in environments where Cat5e bandwidth meets your network requirements. For longer runs or higher electromagnetic interference environments consider higher-category or shielded cables.
