Microconnect UTP503B networking cable Blue 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP503B is a 3 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to infrastructure components like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable meets the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, providing reliable data transmission for home and small office network and entertainment applications. It features a latch protection on the connector and comes in blue.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers backward compatibility with Cat5, U/UTP construction for reduced interference, and RJ-45 connectors on both ends for ready use with standard networking equipment. The 3 m length suits typical desktop and rack connections, and the connector latch protection reduces the risk of damage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Wiring desktop PCs and networked devices in small offices
• Home network and entertainment device connections (smart TVs, media players)
• Short-run connections within network cabinets or server racks

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the destination device or infrastructure point (wall outlet, patch panel or keystone jack). Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection and avoid bending the cable sharply near the ends. For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables for long distances.

Recommendations

For stable network performance, use Cat5e cables for standard broadband and LAN connections up to 100 MHz. When installing in tight spaces, check that the latch protection is intact before feeding the connector through openings. For higher bandwidth needs or longer runs, consider upgrading to Cat6 or higher.
