Microconnect B-UTP520B networking cable Blue 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP520B is a 20 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP (unshielded) construction. It supports Cat5e standard testing up to 100 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5, suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers or tying into patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. The cable is designed for small office, home network and entertainment applications and includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission and compatibility with 10/100/1000Base‑T(X) networking. The 20 m length offers flexibility for placements in larger rooms or between network equipment, while the RJ-45 connectors and latch protection simplify installation and reduce the risk of connector damage. The blue jacket makes cable identification easier in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a wall outlet or patch panel
• Small office and home network setups

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the destination device, patch panel or wall jack. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; leave some slack for movement and maintenance. Verify the network link and speed on the connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs below the recommended maximum length for the application, avoid running parallel to mains power cables to reduce interference, and inspect the latch protection before installation. Use Cat5e cabling for gigabit-capable local networks within its specified limits; for longer runs or higher noise environments consider shielded or higher-category cables.
