Microconnect B-UTP502Y networking cable Yellow 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP502Y is a 2 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors 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. The cable supports Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz, offers U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design and is backwards compatible with Cat5. Its yellow jacket and latch protection help identify the cable and reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission up to the Cat5e standard (100 MHz) and supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) environments. The U/UTP construction offers basic protection against electromagnetic interference in typical home and office situations. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and latch protection simplify installation and improve connector durability. The 2 m length is suitable for short runs between devices and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting modem, router and switch to each other
• Patch panel to network device connections
• Home and small office wired networks
• Entertainment devices with Ethernet ports

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to link (for example, router to switch or computer to wall outlet). Ensure the connectors click into place with the latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For patch panel installations, insert the cable into the appropriate port and secure any cable management fittings.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for short to medium indoor runs in home or small office environments. For runs longer than typical 2 m distances or installations requiring higher immunity to interference, consider longer cables, Cat6/Cat6a alternatives or shielded variants as appropriate.
