Microconnect B-UTP501W networking cable White 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP501W is a 1 m white networking cable with RJ-45 connectors manufactured to the Cat5e (100 MHz) standard. It features U/UTP construction and latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation. The cable supports typical Cat5e performance and is backward compatible with Cat5, making it suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers or patch panels in home and small office networks.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat5e-rated performance up to 100 MHz and compatibility with existing Cat5 infrastructure. U/UTP construction and secure RJ-45 connectors provide reliable data transmission, while latch protection helps prevent connector damage during tight installations. Its 1 m length and white colour make it easy to route and blend into most environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or keystone jack
• Wiring small office and home networks
• Short connections between network devices and desktop computers
• Entertainment devices such as smart TVs or media players

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, modem or switch) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or another device. Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection, and avoid excessive bending near the connector to maintain signal quality. For best results, use the cable for short runs up to 1 m within structured cabling or direct device-to-device connections.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and sharp objects. Use Cat5e cabling for gigabit-capable local networks when cable length and installation quality meet the required standards.
