Microconnect V-UTP501VP networking cable Grey 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect V-UTP501VP U/UTP Cat5e flat networking cable, 1 m in grey, is designed for compact installations where space is limited. It supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s while meeting the Cat5e standard and has been tested to 100 MHz. The flat design enables routing in tight spaces such as behind baseboards or under carpets and is backward compatible with Cat5 systems.

Advantages

The flat U/UTP construction reduces cable bulk in racks and cabinets and allows discreet installation along floors and skirting boards. Tested to the Cat5e standard (100 MHz) and rated for gigabit speeds, the cable provides predictable electrical performance and broad compatibility with existing network equipment. Its 1 m length and grey colour make it suitable for short connections where an unobtrusive appearance is desirable.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and wall outlets over short distances
• Installations in IT racks and cabinets with limited space
• Routing behind baseboards or under carpets and flooring
• Upgrading older Cat5 installations while retaining compatibility

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to a network device (switch, router or network port) and the other end to the corresponding device or wall outlet. Route the flat cable along the desired path, pressing it into gaps behind skirting boards or under floor coverings where allowed. Avoid sharp bends and do not place heavy objects on the cable to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length within specified distances for the network type, avoid running parallel to mains power cables for long distances, and secure the cable gently with low-pressure clips or adhesive strips designed for flat cables.
