Microconnect B-UTP505Y Cable de red amarillo 5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP505Y is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for linking network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is rated to Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz), supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5. It features U/UTP construction and a yellow jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The cable provides a reliable wired connection for small office, home network and entertainment setups, with Cat5e performance tested up to 100 MHz and backward compatibility with Cat5. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces. The yellow outer sheath improves visibility and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches
• Patch panel and wall outlet terminations
• Home and small office networks
• Networked entertainment devices (smart TVs, media players, game consoles)

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded pairs, overall unshielded)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow
• Latch protection on connectors

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices or into wall outlets/patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the latch protection helps avoid damage during routing through tight channels. For structured cabling, route the cable along cable trays or behind skirting, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard horizontal cabling lengths, avoid excessive bending or kinking, and separate from high-voltage power cables. Use the yellow colour to label or identify network segments during installation and maintenance.
