Microconnect B-UTP501B networking cable Blue 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP501B RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Blue is a 1-metre U/UTP patch 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. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The blue jacket and compact design suit small office, home network and entertainment setups where reliable wired connections are required.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a balance of performance and compatibility: it meets Cat5e specifications for signals up to 100 MHz, supports gigabit Ethernet over 10/100/1000Base-T(X), and is backward compatible with Cat5. The U/UTP construction reduces interference in typical LAN environments, while the molded latch protection helps prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces. With standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 1 m length, the cable is convenient for short patching runs and neat rack or desk connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Short patch runs in small office or home networks
• Wired connections for entertainment devices and media players
• Replacing or extending existing Cat5/Cat5e cabling

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or into wall/patch panel jacks. Ensure connectors click into place using the molded latch protection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a reasonable separation from high-voltage power cables to reduce potential interference. Use the 1 m length for short connections between nearby equipment or for tidy patch-panel organization.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for short-distance horizontal patching and device interconnections. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category or shielded cabling (Cat6/Cat6a or FTP/STP) appropriate to your installation needs.
