Microconnect UTP502Y networking cable Yellow 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP502Y is a 2 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and wall outlets or patch panels. It supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz, offers a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s and features U/UTP construction to reduce interference. The cable is finished in yellow and includes latch protection to help prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides tested performance up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with CAT5 devices. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends enable straightforward plug-and-play connections, while the U/UTP shielding helps minimize crosstalk and external interference. Latch protection preserves the plug clip during installation and handling. The 2 m length and bright yellow colour make it easy to route and identify in small office or home network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall jack
• Small office and home Ethernet networks
• Temporary or permanent links between network devices (2 m length)
• Network setups where cable identification is useful (yellow cable)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Microconnect UTP502Y cable to the Ethernet port of your network device (router, switch or modem) and the other end to the destination port such as a patch panel, wall outlet or another device. Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection and avoid excessive bending near the connector. For best results, run the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and do not exceed the recommended channel lengths for Cat5e in your installation.

Recommendations

Use the 2 m Microconnect UTP502Y cable for short links inside racks, desktop setups or between nearby devices. Replace the cable if the connector latch or cable jacket is visibly damaged. For longer runs or higher performance requirements, consider Cat6 or higher standards.
