Microconnect UTP503Y networking cable Yellow 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP503Y RJ-45 Cat5e 3 m Yellow is a 3‑metre UTP patch cable designed for establishing wired Ethernet connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It complies with the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, offering backward compatibility with Cat5 installations. The cable features RJ‑45 connectors with latch protection and comes in a yellow jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission up to the Cat5e frequency range (100 MHz) and supports Ethernet connections with data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s when used in appropriate network setups. The RJ‑45 connectors include latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Its 3 m length offers flexibility for home and small office setups while the yellow colour simplifies cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Wired connections for desktop computers, NAS or network printers
• Home networks, small office networks and entertainment devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Cable type: U/UTP (UTP)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices until the connector latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For installations through patch panels or keystone jacks, ensure the latch protection is oriented to prevent catching on surrounding hardware. Test the connection using network tools or the device’s network status indicators to confirm link and speed.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP cable for standard Ethernet links within homes and small offices. For runs longer than 100 metres or for higher-performance networks (for example multi‑gigabit over longer distances), consider using higher category cables (Cat6 or Cat6a) and verify compatibility with your network equipment.
