Microconnect B-UTP501R cavo di rete rosso 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP501R is a 1 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. This U/UTP (UTP) cable supports the Cat5e standard, is tested to 100 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat5, offering a practical solution for small office, home networks and entertainment setups. The cable comes in red and features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable connectivity up to the Cat5e standard and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s for typical 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs helps prevent accidental damage during installation. Its 1 m length and red colour make it suitable for short connections where identification of cables is helpful. Backward compatibility with Cat5 ensures interoperability with older network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router to modem
• Short links between networked devices in small offices or home networks
• Audio/video and entertainment system cabling
• Cable runs where colour coding is useful for organisation

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable through cable management channels or along racks to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on the connectors. For connections to structured cabling, plug into patch panels or keystone jacks as required. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for short-distance Ethernet links up to 1 m; avoid running it near strong electromagnetic sources (large motors, unshielded power cables) to reduce interference. Replace the cable if the latch or connector shows visible damage.
