Microconnect UTP5015S networking cable Black 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP5015S is a 1.5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable in black, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It meets Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5, supporting data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s for typical Ethernet applications in home and small office environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable signal transmission for Ethernet connections and is fitted with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Its 1.5 m length and black jacket make it suitable for visible cable runs while remaining unobtrusive. The cable is lightweight and compatible with standard network patching components.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Home and small office wired networks
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (smart TVs, consoles)
• Short patch runs between networking equipment

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs within an overall unshielded jacket)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Maximum practical data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.046 kg
• Connector protection: latch-protected plug

How to use

Insert one end of the cable into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into the receiving port on the switch, modem, router or wall outlet. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension along the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for short to medium patch runs in home and small office environments. For longer runs or environments with high interference, consider higher category or shielded cabling options.
