Microconnect B-UTP515B networking cable Blue 15 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP515B RJ-45 Cat5e 15m Blue is a 15-metre U/UTP networking cable designed to connect network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or 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 blue cable includes RJ-45 connectors on both ends and features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides a reliable Cat5e-rated connection suitable for typical office and home network environments, offering tested performance to 100 MHz and compatibility with older Cat5 equipment. U/UTP construction combined with standard RJ-45 connectors ensures straightforward installation and stable signal transmission, while the integrated latch protection helps prevent connector breakage during routing and handling.

How to use

Route the B-UTP515B cable between devices or from device to wall outlet/patch panel, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; secure it with cable ties or clips as needed. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it parallel to power lines for long stretches.

Recommendations

For consistent link quality, use this Cat5e cable for connections up to 15 m and verify device port settings if you expect gigabit speeds. Replace the cable if the latch or connector is visibly damaged before use.
