Microconnect UTP5005 networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5005 is a 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Tested to the Cat5e standard up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for connecting devices such as switches, modems, routers or patch panels in small office and home networks.

Advantages

This grey Cat5e cable provides a compact, short-length connection for patching and device-to-device links. Its U/UTP construction meets Cat5e performance requirements and remains backwards compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable’s RJ-45 connectors ensure easy plug-and-play connection to network ports and infrastructure outlets.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or wall outlet
• Linking modem or router to a local device
• Short patch connections in small office or home networks

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, modem, router) and the other connector into the target device or network outlet. Ensure connectors click into place for secure contact. Use the 0.5 m length for short patch runs or tidy connections inside racks, behind equipment, or between closely positioned devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use this short Cat5e cable for patching and device-to-device links where full Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz is required.
