Microconnect V-UTP5005VP networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP5005VP is a 0.5 m Cat5e flat networking cable designed for space-saving installations in racks, cabinets and tight conduits. It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and meets the Cat5e standard with testing up to 100 MHz. The U/UTP construction reduces interference while the grey colour suits home and office environments.

Advantages

Flat Cat5e design allows routing behind skirting boards, under carpets or through narrow cable channels, saving space and improving cable management. Tested to Cat5e frequency limits and backwards compatible with Cat5 equipment. U/UTP shielding minimises external interference for reliable connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Installations in shallow racks, cabinets and patch panels
• Concealing cables behind skirting boards or under flooring
• Temporary or permanent links where a short 0.5 m cable is required

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of devices such as computers, switches or routers. Route the flat cable through the chosen path — along racks, under carpets or behind skirting boards — taking care not to bend it sharply at the connector ends. Ensure ports are powered and configured according to your network settings; the cable supports automatic negotiation up to 1000 Mbit/s depending on connected equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-power electrical lines and do not exceed the intended installation bending radius. Use the 0.5 m length for short links within racks or between adjacent devices to minimise excess cable and maintain tidy cable management.
