Microconnect B-UTP510W networking cable White 10 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP510W RJ-45 Cat5e 10m is a 10-metre networking cable designed for reliable data transfer between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or to infrastructure endpoints like patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home and office environments, and the cable includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides stable, standardized performance up to 100 MHz and supports gigabit data rates where the rest of the network permits. U/UTP construction with RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensures broad compatibility with common network equipment. Latch protection on the plugs helps prevent connector breakage during routing and installation, and the 10 m length offers flexibility for most small office and home setups.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home network and small office wired Ethernet setups
• Connecting desktop PCs, game consoles, smart TVs and networked media devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (dependent on network hardware)
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.14 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other plug to the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; leave some slack to prevent strain on connectors. For in-wall or permanent installations, follow local cabling standards and use appropriate wall plates or patch panels.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections in home and small office environments. For runs longer than 100 metres or when higher frequencies and future-proofing are required, consider Cat6 or higher-grade cables.
