Microconnect UTP501Y Cable de red amarillo 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP501Y is a 1 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this cable supports Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5. The bright yellow jacket provides visibility while the molded latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e RJ-45 cable offers reliable data transmission and physical protection for the connector latch. It is suitable for small office and home networks and entertainment systems, supports data rates commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet over short runs, and its U/UTP construction minimises interference in typical indoor environments. The 1 m length and yellow colour simplify cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting router to modem or switch
• Patch panel to wall outlet or keystone jack
• Small office and home network setups
• Networked entertainment devices (TV, set-top box, media player)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch, modem or networked device) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the other device or into an outlet/patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; maintain reasonable separation from strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit performance use with compatible network equipment and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat5e. Store and route the cable to avoid kinks and contact with high-power electrical cables to reduce interference.
