Microconnect V-UTP5005SVP networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP5005SVP RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Black is a 0.5 m U/UTP patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections between devices such as switches, modems and routers, or to network infrastructure like patch panels and wall outlets. It supports data transmission up to the Cat5e standard frequency of 100 MHz and a rated data rate of 1000 Mbit/s, and it is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable comes in black with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers tested performance up to 100 MHz and compatibility with Cat5 systems, enabling stable Ethernet connections in home and small office environments. The U/UTP construction reduces external interference for consistent signal quality, while the integrated latch protection helps prevent connector breakage during routing and installation. Its 0.5 m length and compact weight make it suitable for short patching runs with minimal cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch, modem or router to another network device
• Patching between patch panel and keystone jack or wall outlet
• Small office and home network setups
• Short data runs in entertainment systems and desktop connections

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect (for example, router to switch or computer to wall outlet). Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection; route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive tension. For patch panel installations, insert the cable into the designated port and secure any cable management as required.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate for short patching runs (0.5 m) and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. Inspect connectors before installation and replace the cable if the latch or RJ-45 plug is damaged.
