Microconnect UTP5005G networking cable Green 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5005G is a 0.5 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for reliable connection between devices such as switches, modems and routers or for patching into wall outlets and patch panels, this cable supports the Cat5e standard up to 100 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5. The green jacket provides clear visual identification in both home and office network setups.

Advantages

The cable uses U/UTP construction to limit interference and maintain stable data transmission. It is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Lightweight and short (0.5 m), the Microconnect UTP5005G is convenient for tidy patching and short links where a longer cable would cause clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting router to modem or switch for short link runs
• Patch panel to switch connections in racks or wall outlets
• Home theatre or multimedia device connections requiring Cat5e
• Temporary or permanent desk- and workstation cabling

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the appropriate Ethernet ports on your devices (for example, router to switch or modem to router). Ensure the connectors latch into place; the built-in latch protection helps avoid damage when inserting or removing the plug in tight spaces. For best performance, keep the cable run free from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid sharp bends that could stress the cable.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e cable for short, tidy connections near network equipment. For longer runs or environments with high interference, consider a longer Cat5e or higher-category (Cat6/Cat6a) cable with appropriate shielding.
