Networking cable Microconnect STP505G RJ45 Cat5 5m Green

The Microconnect STP505G RJ45 Cat5 5m Green is a 5-meter shielded networking cable designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat5e standards and tested up to 100 MHz, this STP cable offers backward compatibility with Cat5 and includes a latch protection on the connector to reduce the risk of damage during installations in tight spaces. Its shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), helping to maintain signal integrity for reliable data transmission up to the Cat5e specification.

Advantages

The shielded twisted pair construction reduces EMI and crosstalk, which helps prevent data errors and transmission slowdown. Latch protection on the RJ45 connector prevents clip breakage during installation in confined spaces. The 5 m length and green jacket provide a practical and visible routing option for home or small office networks, while compatibility with Cat5 makes the cable suitable for mixed legacy installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• Gaming, streaming and general internet use within a local network

Key specifications

• Cable type: STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Length: 5 m
• Connector: RJ45 with latch protection
• Color: Green

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your device or into a patch panel/keystone jack until the latch clicks. Route the 5 m cable along cable channels or clips to avoid sharp bends and physical strain on connectors. For installations requiring shielding continuity, ensure connected devices and panels support or are bonded to the cable shield as appropriate.

Recommendations

Use this STP Cat5 cable for short to medium runs (up to 5 m) within home or small office environments. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to maximize the benefit of the shielding. For network segments requiring higher bandwidth or future-proofing, consider Cat6 or higher standards.
