Microconnect UTP5005S networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5005S RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Black is a 0.5 meter U/UTP networking patch cable designed to link network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, this cable is suitable for small office and home networks and supports backward compatibility with Cat5 installations. The cable is supplied with a strain-relief boot to protect the RJ-45 connector during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission for standard Ethernet applications and is tested to 100 MHz according to Cat5e specifications. The U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure easy plug-and-play use, while the integrated boot reduces the risk of connector damage during routing and installation. Its 0.5 m length and compact black design make it practical for short patching runs and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch, router and modem in home or small office networks
