Microconnect UTP520G networking cable Green 20 m Cat5

The Microconnect UTP520G 20m Cat5 Green networking cable provides a 20-metre stranded connection that meets Cat5 performance for standard Ethernet and data transmission needs. Its green jacket makes cable routing and identification straightforward in multi-cable installations at home or in the office. The cable supports common network devices such as PCs, routers and switches and is intended for reliable, everyday wired connections over moderate distances.

Advantages

This Cat5 UTP cable offers a consistent physical connection over its full 20 m length and a distinctive green outer sheath for easy visual identification. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design reduces susceptibility to interference in typical residential and small-office environments while remaining compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and Ethernet equipment. The cable’s flexibility facilitates routing through cable trays, under desks or behind furniture without excessive stiffness.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to routers or switches
• Wired LAN connections in small offices and home networks
• Temporary event networking or structured cabling where a visible colored cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5 (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: Green
• Connector type: RJ45-compatible termination (standard Ethernet)
• Construction: Multi-pair twisted conductors designed for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet environments

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices and connect each end to the RJ45 ports. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure link. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a bending radius suitable for network cabling to prevent degradation of signal quality. For best performance, keep the cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources such as mains transformers or large motors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5 cable for standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet links over the specified 20 m distance. For installations requiring higher speeds or longer runs, consider higher-category cables (Cat5e, Cat6) and follow local cabling standards for cable management and grounding where applicable.
