Microconnect B-UTP520G networking cable Green 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP520G RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 20 m green patch cable designed for wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or for linking to patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a reliable wired connection with Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5. The U/UTP construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends allow plug-and-play use with standard network equipment. The 20 m length offers flexibility for home and small office layouts, and the latch protection helps preserve connector integrity during routing and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to each other or to a patch panel
• Home and small office wired Ethernet networks
• Linking devices to keystone jacks and wall outlets
• Entertainment systems and smart TV/networked media players

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices to be connected and plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding network ports or keystone jacks. Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection and avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable run. For installations through tight spaces, guide the cable carefully to prevent pressure on the connector latch.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs away from strong electrical sources, do not exceed recommended bend radius, and test connections after installation. Use the cable for typical Cat5e-length runs in homes and small offices; for longer distances or higher bandwidth needs consider higher-category cables.
