Microconnect UTP550W networking cable White 50 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP550W RJ-45 Cat5e 50m white networking cable provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. This 50 m U/UTP Cat5e cable supports data transmission up to gigabit speeds and is suitable for small office, home networks and entertainment systems requiring stable Ethernet connections. The cable has RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a white jacket that fits typical installation environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers backward compatibility with older Cat5 installations while supporting up to 1000 Mbit/s over 50 m. It is produced with latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. U/UTP construction provides consistent signal transmission for typical LAN applications and easy integration with patch panels, keystone jacks or network devices.

Suitable for

• Wired home networks and multimedia setups
• Small office Ethernet connections
• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Temporary or permanent network runs where a 50 m cable length is required

How to use

Uncoil the Microconnect UTP550W cable and route it between network devices or through structured cabling channels. Insert RJ-45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, routers, modems, keystone jacks or patch panels until the latch clicks. Avoid tight bending radii and secure the cable with clips or cable ties as needed to maintain signal integrity and reduce strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources (large motors, fluorescent ballasts) and avoid sharp bends. Use the 50 m Cat5e cable for typical gigabit LAN segments; for higher-frequency requirements consider Cat6 cables tested to higher MHz values.
