Microconnect UTP5005W networking cable White 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5005W is a 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or patch panels. It is intended for home and small office networks and supports Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz while remaining backwards compatible with Cat5.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-weight solution for short-distance connections and tidy installations. With Cat5e specification and U/UTP construction it supports data rates suitable for typical Ethernet applications and offers straightforward compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports. Its 0.5 m length and white colour minimise cable clutter in desktop or cabinet setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a wall outlet or patch panel
• Short Ethernet links in home networks and small offices
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (set-top boxes, smart TVs, media players)
• Temporary or permanent connections inside racks, cabinets or behind desks

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices to be linked (for example, router to switch or modem to wall outlet). Ensure connectors click into place and that the cable is routed without sharp bends or excessive tension. For panel or keystone installations, insert the cable into the appropriate jack and verify the network link lights on connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Microconnect Cat5e cable for short, in-room connections where a tidy, low-profile link is needed. Avoid running the cable alongside heavy power lines for extended distances to reduce potential interference; for longer runs consider higher-category cables if higher bandwidth or improved shielding is required.
