Microconnect UTP503W networking cable Grey 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP503W is a 3 m Grey networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, compliant with the Cat5e standard. It supports data transmission up to 100 Mhz testing frequency and is suitable for high-speed data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s in typical network setups. The cable uses U/UTP shielding and is designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to infrastructure points like patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets in home and small office environments.

Advantages

The Microconnect UTP503W offers backward compatibility with Cat5 installations while meeting Cat5e performance requirements. Its U/UTP construction reduces interference for stable signal transmission and the 3 m length provides flexibility for common desk-to-wall or equipment-to-rack connections. The grey outer jacket gives a neutral appearance suitable for both residential and office use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and modems
• Patch panel to network device links
• Home and small office networks
• Entertainment systems requiring wired Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector of the Microconnect UTP503W to the Ethernet port of your network device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector to the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its tested frequency and in typical Cat5e environments. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and replace if the outer jacket or connectors are visibly damaged.
