Microconnect V-UTP507VP networking cable Grey 7 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP507VP is a flat U/UTP Cat5e networking cable in grey, 7 m long. Designed for space-saving installations in IT racks, cabinets and for routing behind baseboards or under floor coverings, this cable complies with Cat5e standards and is tested up to 100 MHz. It is backwards compatible with Cat5 and supports data transfer rates suitable for typical home and office networks.

Advantages

The flat design allows easy routing in tight spaces and neat installation behind skirting boards or under carpets. U/UTP construction reduces interference compared with untwisted alternatives, while Cat5e testing to 100 MHz ensures reliable performance for Ethernet links. The 7 m length and grey colour provide practical reach and unobtrusive appearance in installations.

Suitable for

• Wiring between wall outlets, switches and patch panels in racks and cabinets

How to use

Measure the required route and lay the flat Cat5e cable along skirting boards, inside cable channels or within rack cabinet pathways. Terminate the cable with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated ends as appropriate for your installation. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves to preserve cable performance. Test the link after installation to verify connectivity and signal quality.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and power cables to minimise interference, and ensure terminations conform to Cat5e wiring standards (T568A or T568B) for reliable network performance.
