Microconnect B-UTP502O networking cable Orange 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP502O U/UTP Cat5e 2m is a 2-metre networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers, or between devices and wall outlets or patch panels. Constructed to Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports up to 1000 Mbit/s data transfer and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations. Its orange jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers U/UTP construction to reduce external interference and maintain signal integrity. The product includes latch protection on the RJ45 connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces. With a compact 2 m length and lightweight design, it is convenient for short device-to-device connections and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers or modems in home and small office networks
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in structured cabling
• Audio/video and entertainment system wired links where Cat5e performance is sufficient

How to use

Connect one end of the Microconnect Cat5e cable to the RJ45 port of your network device and the other end to the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e cable for short runs up to 2 m within home or small office environments and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. If higher bandwidth or shielded cabling is required for long runs or industrial environments, consider Cat6 or fully shielded alternatives.
