Microconnect UTP502W networking cable White 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP502W is a 2 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this white cable supports the Cat5e standard and is backward compatible with Cat5.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable is tested up to 100 MHz and provides reliable data transmission with a rated data transfer capability of 1000 Mbit/s. The U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while the 2 m length and standard RJ-45 connectors make it suitable for typical home and small office installations. Its white colour offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting router to modem or switch
• Linking network devices to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home networking and small office setups
• Entertainment devices requiring wired Ethernet

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Data transfer rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.056 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other connector into the target device or the wall outlet/patch panel. Ensure connectors click firmly into place and verify link lights on connected equipment to confirm an active connection. For best operation, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for distances up to typical horizontal cabling runs in homes and small offices. Do not exceed recommended bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
