Microconnect B-UTP5005R Cable de red rojo 0,5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005R is a 0.5 m networking cable with RJ-45 connectors that conforms to the Cat5e standard. Designed for connections between devices such as switches, modems and routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this red U/UTP cable supports up to 100 MHz testing and is backward compatible with Cat5. The cable is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment applications and includes latch protection to prevent connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers reliable data transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and supports a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s. The U/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, improving signal stability. Its short 0.5 m length is convenient for patching in racks or close-proximity connections, and the molded latch protector helps prevent the RJ-45 clip from breaking during installation. The red color aids cable identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router to modem in small office and home networks
• Patching devices within racks or short-distance links between equipment
• Entertainment setups where stable Ethernet connection is required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Microconnect B-UTP5005R cable to the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure the connectors click into place; the molded latch protector reduces the risk of breaking the clip when routing the cable through tight spaces. Use the cable for short, direct links; avoid overstretching or bending the cable sharply near the connector to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for short-distance connections within racks, behind entertainment centers or between closely located network devices. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid repeated sharp bends to maintain reliable throughput.
