Microconnect UTP540 Cable de red gris 40 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

Microconnect UTP540 RJ-45 Cat5e 40 m Grey is a 40-meter U/UTP Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports data transmission up to the Cat5e standard (tested to 100 MHz) and is backward compatible with Cat5 cabling. The grey cable is suitable for structured cabling installations, patch panels, keystone jacks and direct connections between devices such as switches, modems and routers.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable connectivity for home and small office networks and entertainment setups. Built with latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs, it reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. U/UTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity while supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s when used with compatible equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Wiring between network devices and keystone jacks
• Entertainment systems requiring wired Ethernet connections

How to use

Route the Microconnect UTP540 cable between the devices or termination points you wish to connect. Insert the RJ-45 plugs into corresponding ports on switches, routers, modems, patch panels or wall sockets until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to preserve signal quality. For wall or panel installations, use appropriate cable management and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within Cat5e network segments and pair it with compatible networking equipment. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce electromagnetic interference. If higher bandwidth or future-proofing is required, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cabling.
