Microconnect B-UTP520S verkkokaapeli musta 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP520S RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Black is a 20-meter unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) networking cable designed for connecting devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It meets the Cat5e standard and is tested up to 100 MHz, while remaining backwards compatible with Cat5 cables. The cable has latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during tight installations and comes in a black finish.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission for small office and home networks and entertainment setups. Its U/UTP construction minimises interference, RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure easy plug-and-play installation, and the integrated latch protection prevents connector breakage when routing the cable through confined spaces. The 20 m length offers flexibility for typical room-to-room or rack-to-device connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home network and media streaming setups
• Small office Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance
• Temporary or permanent installations where a 20 m lead is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (for example a switch or router) and the other into the patch panel, keystone jack or destination device. Ensure the connectors click securely with the latch. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and pinch points; maintain recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cables and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for connections within the tested 100 MHz bandwidth and for typical Gigabit Ethernet environments where cable length and installation conditions meet standard requirements. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain gentle bends during installation.
