Cable de red Microconnect UTP515 gris 15 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect UTP515 RJ-45 Cat5e 15 m Grey is a 15-metre U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and patch panels in home and small office networks. It meets Cat5e specifications and is tested up to 100 MHz, while maintaining backward compatibility with Cat5 cabling. The grey jacket and standard RJ-45 plugs provide a straightforward, unobtrusive cabling solution for structured network installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s over suitable network equipment and offers reliable signal transmission for typical Ethernet applications. The U/UTP construction reduces interference in common environments, and the cable is manufactured with latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in confined spaces. Tested to the Cat5e 100 MHz standard and compatible with existing Cat5 infrastructure, it provides a practical balance of performance and compatibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and network switches
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations
• Home networks and small office LANs
• Entertainment devices requiring wired Ethernet (smart TVs, consoles, media players)

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Category: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid not present)
• Data rate: supports up to 1000 Mbit/s depending on network equipment
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.46 kg

How to use

Route the MicroConnect UTP515 cable between network devices or from a device to a wall outlet, patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure RJ-45 connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid excessive bending or tight kinks to preserve cable performance. When installing through narrow conduits or tight spaces, guide the cable gently and use the built-in latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e cable within the specified 100 MHz performance window and pair it with compatible network equipment rated for gigabit speeds if higher throughput is required. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference, and maintain proper bend radius as specified by network cabling standards.
