Microconnect UTP505G networking cable Green 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP505G is a 5 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable supports Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5; its U/UTP construction reduces interference while enabling data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. A latch protection on the connector prevents damage during installation in tight spaces, and the cable is finished in green for easy identification.

Advantages

The cable provides a reliable wired connection meeting Cat5e standard requirements and offers backwards compatibility with Cat5. U/UTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity. RJ-45 connectors on both ends allow plug-and-play installation, and the molded latch protection prevents connector breakage during routing and installation. The 5 m length covers typical short-run connections in home and small office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to network outlets or patch panels
• Home and small office wired network setups
• Connecting computers, printers or networked entertainment devices

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid/foil as specified)
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet compatible)
• Product colour: Green
• Weight: 0.056 kg

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices or between a device and a wall outlet/patch panel, then insert the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or crimps that may damage the cable. For best performance, keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables for long distances.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit connections, use this Cat5e cable for runs up to its length and replace with Cat6 or higher for longer runs or environments with higher interference. Inspect the molded latch before and after installation to ensure it is intact; replace the cable if the connector or latch is damaged.
