Microconnect UTP501S verkkokaapeli musta 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The MicroConnect UTP501S is a 1 m Cat5e UTP network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for wired connections between devices such as switches, routers, modems, patch panels or wall outlets. It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and complies with Cat5e standards, with testing up to 100 MHz. The cable has U/UTP construction to reduce interference and a black jacket for a professional appearance. Latch protection is included to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a reliable wired link for small office and home networks and entertainment systems. It is backwards compatible with Cat5 and tested to Cat5e frequency requirements, offering stable performance for standard Ethernet applications. The built-in latch protection reduces the risk of breaking the RJ-45 clip when routing the cable through confined areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches
• Patch panel and keystone jack terminations
• Home network and small office Ethernet
• Media streaming and networked entertainment devices

Key specifications

• Length: 1 m
• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid/foil absent — U/UTP indicates unshielded pairs and unshielded overall)
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (for example a router, switch or modem) and the other into the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to power lines to minimise interference. For wall outlet installations, feed the cable carefully through conduits or openings to protect the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the MicroConnect UTP501S for typical Ethernet applications up to Gigabit speeds over short runs (1 m). Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. For longer runs or environments with high interference, consider higher-category or shielded cabling.
