Microconnect B-UTP5015B networking cable Blue 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5015B is a 1.5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction, designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz), is backward compatible with Cat5, and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The blue jacket provides a clear visual identifier for home or office installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers tested performance to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5, ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors provide a stable connection for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. A molded latch protector reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The 1.5 m length is suitable for short runs between nearby devices while keeping cable clutter minimal.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to router, modem or another switch
• Patch panel to wall outlet or keystone jack
• Home and small office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (TV, media player, set-top box)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (for example, a switch, router or modem) and the other connector into the destination port, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and the molded latch protector is oriented to avoid catching on nearby surfaces. For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks and running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use this Cat5e cable for short to medium-length runs within homes and small offices. If you require longer runs, higher bandwidth or future-proofing beyond 1 Gbit/s, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cables.
