Microconnect networking cable - Yellow - CAT5e

This CAT5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) at frequencies up to 100 MHz.

This is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it has no additional metallic shielding around the twisted pairs, offering basic protection.

Yes, it is suitable for most home network applications, especially for connecting devices that are close to your router or switch.

Latch protection refers to a feature on the RJ-45 connector that helps prevent the locking tab from breaking off when the cable is plugged in or unplugged, especially in tight spaces.

The length of this specific Microconnect B-UTP50025Y networking cable is 0.25 meters (approximately 0.82 feet).

Yes, CAT5e cables are backwards compatible with CAT5 standards.

The conductor material for this cable is Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA).

Ensure both RJ-45 connectors are securely plugged into their respective ports. Verify the cable is not damaged. Try a different network cable to confirm if the issue lies with this cable.

Check that the cable is fully seated in the ports. Confirm that your network devices and internet plan support speeds higher than CAT5e (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet). Ensure the cable is not subjected to significant interference.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or kinks. Ensure the connectors are clean. Test with a different cable to rule out a faulty cable.

While the latch protection helps, excessive force can still break the tab. If broken, the cable may not stay securely in the port. Consider replacing the cable.
