Microconnect UTP5005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5005Y is a 0.5 m UTP Cat5e network cable with RJ-45 connectors in a yellow jacket. It is suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and is backward compatible with Cat5.

Advantages

The cable supports reliable data transmission and is constructed with U/UTP shielding to reduce interference. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its 0.5 m length and bright yellow colour make cable management and identification easier in small office, home or rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Short patch connections between network devices
• Home and small office networks and entertainment systems

Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection. For best performance, avoid sharp bending and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Microconnect Cat5e cable for short, visible connections where easy identification is needed; replace with higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) only when higher bandwidth or extended shielding is required.
