Microconnect B-UTP5015O networking cable Orange 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5015O is a 1.5 m orange networking cable that meets Cat5e (up to 100 MHz) specifications with U/UTP (unshielded) construction and RJ-45 connectors at both ends. It is 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. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5 and supports typical Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s when used within appropriate network configurations.

Advantages

The cable includes latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its orange colour improves cable identification in server rooms or home office setups. Manufactured to Cat5e testing standards (up to 100 MHz), the cable provides a reliable, low-cost solution for small office and home network and entertainment applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or network outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Temporary or permanent connections in network racks and AV setups where colour coding is useful

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 m
• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or wall outlets until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of electrical interference. For structured cabling, connect one end to a patch panel or keystone jack and the other to the network device. Verify link status and network settings on connected equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect Cat5e cable for short to medium runs within offices and homes. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances; keep bend radius within manufacturer guidance and replace the cable if the connector latch or jacket is damaged.
