Microconnect B-UTP520P verkkokaapeli violetti 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP520P RJ-45 Cat5e 20m Purple is a 20-meter patch cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. This Cat5e U/UTP cable is tested to 100 MHz, backwards compatible with Cat5, and fitted with latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installations in confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable supports standard Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and is suitable for typical small office and home network and entertainment applications. Its U/UTP construction provides unshielded twisted pairs with an overall braid or foil absent (U/UTP), and the RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad device compatibility. The 20 m length and distinctive purple colour make cable routing and identification easier in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Wired connections for networked entertainment devices (TVs, set-top boxes, consoles)
• Temporary or permanent patching in wiring closets and patch panels

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the network device and the corresponding port on a switch, router, modem or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm the latch protection is engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; secure with cable ties or clips if necessary. Test the network link after installation to confirm proper connectivity and speed.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for Ethernet segments, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines, and avoid tight bends that can damage the internal pairs. Use the purple colour to label or distinguish specific runs in multi-cable installations.
