Microconnect UTP503R Cable de red rojo 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP503R is a 3 m Cat5e UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. It supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s, providing a straightforward wired connection between devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. The cable is unshielded (U/UTP) and comes in a red jacket with latch protection on the plugs to reduce risk of connector damage during tight installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable is tested to the Cat5e standard (100 MHz) and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The U/UTP construction offers basic protection against crosstalk while maintaining flexibility for routing in small office or home environments. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents accidental clip breakage during installation and handling. The 3 m length and bright red colour make it easy to identify and position in structured cabling or point-to-point connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch or router to a modem or wall outlet
• Patch panel and keystone jack terminations in small office and home networks
• Temporary or permanent point-to-point Ethernet links up to Gigabit speeds

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the network devices or wall outlets you wish to link, ensuring the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For connections to patch panels or keystone jacks, insert the plug fully into the corresponding port. Test the link with network diagnostic tools after installation to confirm expected speed and connectivity.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use this Cat5e cable for Ethernet links within 100 metres and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables. Replace cables with visible damage to the jacket or connectors and choose shielded alternatives (STP/FTP) only where higher EMI protection is required.
