Microconnect B-UTP5005P Καλώδιο δικτύου Μωβ 0,5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect B-UTP5005P RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Purple is a short patch cable for connecting network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to network infrastructure like patch panels and wall outlets. It complies with Cat5e specifications and is tested up to 100 MHz, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable uses U/UTP construction and comes in a distinctive purple colour while offering latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides backward compatibility with Cat5 equipment and is tested to the Cat5e standard for consistent performance up to 100 MHz. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends support gigabit-capable connections in short runs, and the U/UTP design helps minimise electromagnetic interference. Latch protection on the plugs decreases the chance of clip breakage when routing the cable through confined areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall jacks
• Short patch runs in home or small office networks
• Temporary or permanent connections in entertainment setups and LANs

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Shielding: U/UTP
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)
• Colour: Purple
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices or patch panel until the latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m cable for short links where minimal slack is required. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the plug to maintain signal integrity. For best results, connect devices while powered off or during planned maintenance to prevent network interruptions.

Recommendations

For stable gigabit operation, use this Cat5e cable for short indoor runs and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as power transformers or fluorescent lighting. If longer runs or higher shielding are required, consider Cat6 or shielded alternatives.
