Microconnect B-UTP502R cavo di rete rosso 2 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP502R RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable (2 m) provides a straightforward connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers or to structured cabling via patch panels and wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat5e specifications and tested up to 100 MHz, this U/UTP cable supports reliable data transfer and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable is red for easy identification and includes latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable meets Cat5e standard testing up to 100 MHz and supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) operation for versatile use in home and small office networks. Its RJ-45 connectors on both ends and U/UTP construction ensure consistent signal integrity, while the bright red colour helps identify runs in a crowded patch panel or rack. The latch protection reduces the risk of breaking the plug tab when routing through confined areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers, modems and switches in home or small office networks
• Linking equipment to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets
• Cabling in entertainment systems and media players

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices (for example router to switch, PC to wall outlet or patch panel). Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection and avoid excessive bending near the connector. For optimal performance, keep cable runs away from high-voltage power lines and avoid tight staples or kinks that could damage the conductor pairs.

Recommendations

The Microconnect Cat5e cable is recommended for typical home and small office networking where Cat5e performance (up to 100 MHz) is sufficient. For longer runs, higher electromagnetic interference environments, or where future-proofing for higher frequencies is required, consider Cat6 or shielded alternatives.
