Microconnect UTP550 cavo di rete grigio 50 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP550 UTP Cat5e 50 m Grey is a 50-meter unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers, or for permanent installation via patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. Tested to the Cat5e standard up to 100 MHz, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and supports data transmission for typical home and small office network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides stable data transmission up to 100 MHz and is manufactured with latch protection to reduce the risk of RJ45 connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The 50 m length and grey jacket make it practical for structured cabling runs and visible installations, while U/UTP construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route. It is suitable for standard Ethernet applications and is compatible with Cat5 equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to network infrastructure
• Home and small office wired networks
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations
• Entertainment devices such as smart TVs and media players

• Weight: 1.39 kg

How to use

Measure and route the 50 m cable between the devices or from devices to the network termination point, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Terminate the cable with RJ45 plugs or connect it to patch panels and keystone jacks following standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B). Ensure connectors click into place using the provided latch protection and test the link with appropriate network testers after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for Ethernet, avoid running parallel to high-power electrical cables, and use proper cable management and strain relief. Verify network device capabilities to confirm desired data rates (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet).
