Microconnect UTP520S netværkskabel sort 20 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect UTP520S UTP Cat5e 20m Black is a 20-metre unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) network cable built to connect devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable meets Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, offering a compact black design with latch protection to reduce connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable is backwards compatible with Cat5 standards, tested to 100 MHz, and supports gigabit data transfer rates where cabling and devices permit. The U/UTP construction provides a reliable connection for small office and home networks and entertainment setups. Latch protection on the RJ45 connectors helps prevent connector breakage during routing or installation in constrained areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home networking
• Home entertainment systems and media devices
• Temporary or permanent structured cabling runs up to 20 m

How to use

Route the Microconnect UTP520S cable between network devices or from devices to wall outlets or patch panels. Insert RJ45 connectors until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cabling. For runs near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, keep the cable separated from high-voltage wiring and large electrical equipment to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e cable for connections up to 20 m within home or office environments and pair it with compatible gigabit-capable network equipment. Inspect connectors before installation and avoid excessive pulling force to protect the latch and contacts.
