Microconnect V-UTP505VP networking cable Grey 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP505VP is a flat U/UTP Cat5e networking cable with a length of 5 m and a grey jacket. Designed for space-saving installations, this cable meets Cat5e requirements and is tested up to 100 MHz. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and remains backwards compatible with Cat5 cabling.

Advantages

The flat design allows installation in tight spaces such as IT racks, cabinets, behind baseboards or under carpets. U/UTP construction ensures predictable performance for typical office and home networks, while the 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across medium distances. The grey color provides a neutral appearance that integrates with most setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within offices or homes
• Runs behind skirting boards or under flooring where space is limited
• Installation in rack or cabinet areas with restricted cable depth

How to use

Route the Microconnect V-UTP505VP flat cable along the desired path, keeping bends gentle to avoid stress on the conductor pairs. Terminate both ends into compatible RJ45 ports on your devices or patch panels. For runs behind skirting boards or under carpets, ensure the cable is laid flat and not pinched by furniture or flooring. Test the connection after installation to confirm expected link speed and connectivity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid placing the cable in close parallel runs with high-voltage power lines and maintain gentle bend radii. Use appropriate strain relief at termination points and verify network settings on connected devices to achieve the advertised data rates.
