Microconnect B-UTP5075R networking cable Red 7.5 m Cat5e U/UTP UTP RJ-45

The Microconnect B-UTP5075R is a 7.5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for reliable wired connections between switches, modems, routers and structured cabling components such as patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5. The red jacket makes the cable easy to identify in multi-cable installations and the connector latch protection reduces the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers tested performance up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5 standards, enabling stable Ethernet links for common home and small office applications. The U/UTP construction provides basic unshielded twisted-pair performance suitable for typical LAN environments, while the RJ-45 connectors on both ends and latch protection ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation and improved connector durability. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility for desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections, and the red colour helps with visual cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and modems within home or small office networks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to device connections
• Entertainment devices such as smart TVs, media players and game consoles

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Cabling: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Colour: Red
• Data rate (typical application): up to 1000 Mbit/s (depends on network equipment)
• Weight: 0.06 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch, modem or wall outlet) and the other connector into the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For installations through confined spaces, use the latch protection feature to prevent connector damage when pulling the cable through tight openings.

Recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e cabling within typical office or home distances and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference. Verify network equipment settings and speeds to ensure compatibility with the intended data rates.
