Microconnect B-UTP505P networking cable Purple 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP505P is a 5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems and routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels and keystone jacks. It supports the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, providing data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is purple and includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers backward compatibility with Cat5 networks while meeting Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz. The U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and integrated latch protection simplify installation and help protect the plug when routing the cable through confined openings. The 5 m length provides flexibility for typical small office and home networking and entertainment setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home networks and small office LANs
• Wired connections for streaming, gaming and multimedia devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent but foil or reduced shielding as per U/UTP designation)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Purple
• Weight: 0.07 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other connector into the target device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep it away from strong sources of electrical noise for best performance. If routing through narrow conduits, press the latch protection gently to prevent snagging while feeding the cable.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections within homes and small offices where runs are up to 5 m. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category or properly shielded cables.
