Microconnect UTP530W networking cable White 30 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP530W RJ-45 Cat5e 30 m White is a 30-meter unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) networking cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation. The cable is specified for data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for home and small office network and entertainment applications.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat5e-certified transmission up to 100 MHz and supports gigabit-capable data rates (1000 Mbit/s). U/UTP construction helps minimise electromagnetic interference for stable performance in typical LAN environments. Built-in latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents accidental damage to the connector clip during routing and installation. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into residential and office interiors.

How to use

Route the Microconnect UTP530W between network devices or from a device to a patch panel or wall outlet. Insert the RJ-45 plugs into the appropriate ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid excessive bending or sharp kinks in the cable and secure it with cable clips or ties as needed to maintain proper bend radius and prevent mechanical strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference (large motors, fluorescent lighting or high-voltage power cables) and avoid running it in parallel with mains power over long distances. Use cable management to prevent tight bends and reduce strain on the RJ-45 latches during installation.
