Microconnect V-UTP515VP networking cable Grey 15 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect V-UTP515VP is a 15 m flat U/UTP Cat5e networking cable in grey, designed for space-saving installations in racks, cabinets and tight routes. It meets the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, providing a reliable physical link for home or office networks and backward compatibility with Cat5 systems. The flat design allows routing behind baseboards and under carpets or other floor coverings where a conventional round cable would be bulky.

Advantages

The flat U/UTP construction saves space and simplifies installation in narrow channels while maintaining Cat5e electrical performance. Tested to 100 MHz and compatible with Cat5 equipment, the cable supports standard network wiring practices and offers a discreet grey finish that blends into most environments. Its 15 m length covers longer runs without additional joins.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Runs behind skirting boards and under carpets
• Space-constrained installations in racks and cabinets

How to use

Route the flat cable along the desired path, pressing it into skirting board channels or under carpets where permitted. Terminate the cable with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated ends if provided. Ensure connectors and patch panels are rated for Cat5e to preserve performance. Avoid sharp bends and heavy compression at connector points to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power cables and avoid tightly coiling the cable. Follow local building regulations when routing under floors or within walls.
