Microconnect UTP505S networking cable Black 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP505S is a 5 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers and patch panels. Tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and backwards compatible with Cat5, this cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and includes a boot (snagless design) to protect the connector during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides stable wired performance for home and small office networks, offering Cat5e-standard frequency testing up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5 equipment. The U/UTP construction reduces external interference, and the integrated boot helps prevent connector damage during routing and installation. The black jacket gives a discreet, professional look for visible runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Connecting networked audio/video and entertainment devices
• Temporary or permanent patch cabling in structured cabling systems

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other RJ-45 plug to the receiving device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable through cable management or conduits as required; the snagless boot protects the clip when pulling the cable through tight spaces. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for Ethernet links within the Cat5e specification (up to 100 m total link length in structured cabling). Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid kinking or crushing the cable during installation.
