Microconnect UTP5005B networking cable Blue 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect CAT5e UTP networking cable is a 0.5 meter unshielded (U/UTP) PVC cable with CU conductors and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for short patching runs in home or office networks, the blue cable supports Ethernet connections between network devices and offers reliable data transmission over CAT5e performance levels.

Advantages

This CAT5e UTP cable provides straightforward connectivity with standard RJ-45 terminations and a compact 0.5 m length that reduces excess cable clutter. The PVC jacket delivers basic mechanical protection and flexibility for patch panels, switches, routers and wall ports while maintaining CAT5e data transmission characteristics suitable for most internet and local network tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer to a nearby switch or router
• Patching ports in a rack or patch panel
• Short horizontal runs between networked devices
• Home and small office Ethernet setups

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices (for example, a computer and a router or switch). Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short-distance links where minimal slack is desired; avoid tight bends near the terminations to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it in parallel with power cables. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are visibly damaged.
