Microconnect B-UTP5015R networking cable Red 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5015R RJ-45 Cat5e 1.5 m Red is a U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to each other or to wall outlets and patch panels. The cable meets Cat5e requirements, is tested up to 100 MHz and is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment applications while providing backward compatibility with Cat5 installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers reliable data transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, low susceptibility to interference thanks to U/UTP construction, and durable RJ-45 connectors with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation. Its 1.5 m length and bright red color make it easy to route and identify in patch panels or cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network setups
• Networked entertainment devices (smart TVs, set-top boxes, media players)
• Temporary or permanent on-desk and rack connections

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector securely into the corresponding network ports on your devices or into a keystone jack/patch panel. Ensure the connectors click into place using the latch protection and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector. For rack or wall installations, route the cable along cable management paths and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep cable runs within recommended lengths. Use the red colour to mark specific network segments or devices, and verify link speed on connected devices to ensure 10/100/1000Base-T(X) operation as appropriate.
