Microconnect UTP502G networking cable Grey 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP502G is a 2 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and patch panels. It is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and is backwards compatible with Cat5. The cable features latch protection on the plugs and comes in a grey finish.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports reliable wired connections and is suitable for small office and home network and entertainment setups. The U/UTP design and Cat5e testing ensure consistent performance for typical Ethernet applications, while latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation. Its 2 m length offers flexibility for common workstation and equipment placements.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch, modem or router to a network outlet or patch panel
• Home and small office wired LAN connections
• Entertainment devices such as smart TVs, consoles or media players
• General Ethernet cabling where up to Cat5e performance is required

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices or into wall outlets/patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the cable's latch protection helps prevent damage during routing through tight spaces. For best results, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard wired Ethernet links up to 1 Gbit/s within the tested frequency range; for environments with heavy interference or for higher performance needs consider higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) or shielded alternatives.
