Microconnect V-UTP505SVP networking cable Black 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP505SVP RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Black is a 5-meter Ethernet patch 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. The cable meets Cat5e standards and is tested up to 100 MHz, providing support for data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, U/UTP construction to reduce interference, and a black jacket for a discreet, professional appearance.

Advantages

The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5 and is suitable for small office and home network and entertainment applications. It includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in confined spaces. The U/UTP design helps minimise electromagnetic interference, and the 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desktop and rack connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office networks
• Wired connections for media players, smart TVs and streaming devices
• Temporary or permanent patching in rack and desktop setups

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the target patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure latch. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to reduce interference. If routing through conduits or tight spaces, use the latch protection to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables and maintain bend radius recommended for Cat5e cables. Use this Cat5e cable for typical Ethernet needs up to 100 MHz and consider Cat6 or higher if planning for higher frequencies or future-proofing beyond 1 Gbit/s environments.
