The Microconnect UTP505 RJ-45 Cat5e 5m Grey is a 5‑meter U/UTP networking cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, designed to connect switches, modems, routers and other network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It conforms to the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz while remaining backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and small office environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports reliable data transmission and is rated for up to 100 MHz testing; it is backward compatible with Cat5. The cable includes latch protection on the RJ‑45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations.

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network device (for example a router, switch or modem) and the other into the target outlet, patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection and avoid sharp bends or heavy pulls on the cable to maintain signal quality. For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electrical noise sources and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables for long distances.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for links up to 5 meters where Gigabit speeds are required within the limitations of Cat5e specification; for longer runs or higher shielding needs consider Cat6 or shielded variants.
