Microconnect B-UTP502 networking cable Grey 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP502 RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Grey is a 2 m networking cable designed for wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The grey jacket and standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends make it suitable for home and small office networks and entertainment setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable signal transmission for typical LAN applications and is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Its U/UTP construction offers consistent performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks while keeping installation straightforward thanks to standard RJ-45 terminations and a compact 2 m length.

Suitable for

• Connecting router, modem or switch to a PC or patch panel

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (router, switch or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm the latch protection has engaged. For trunking or concealed routing, avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for typical Gigabit Ethernet runs up to the cable length required; for longer distances or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category or shielded cabling.
