Panduit MP530-C 30 Awg Cat5e Utp Modular Plug

Product Description

The PANDUIT MP530-C is a 30 AWG Category 5e UTP modular plug designed for field-termination of unshielded twisted-pair network cables. This connector terminates solid or stranded 30 AWG conductors and meets Category 5e performance standards, supporting network applications up to 100 MHz. It is used by low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers who need a reliable, crimp-style plug for patch cable fabrication or structured cabling work. The plug is sold individually and suits both light commercial and residential network installations where compact conductor sizing is required.

This modular plug is suited for structured cabling environments where 30 AWG UTP cable is deployed, including data centers, office networks, and residential low-voltage installations. It is appropriate for use with Category 5e-rated horizontal or patch cable assemblies. Installers building custom-length patch cords or re-terminating field cables will find this plug fits standard RJ45 crimping workflows.

Key Features

• Category 5e rated, supporting network performance up to 100 MHz
• Designed for 30 AWG UTP cable termination
• Crimp-style field termination compatible with standard RJ45 crimp tools
• Unshielded construction suitable for standard Ethernet cabling applications
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-termination plug for 30 AWG Category 5e UTP network cable assemblies in standard structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Use a proper RJ45 crimp tool rated for the plug style to ensure consistent termination and avoid conductor damage. Verify cable preparation, including strip length and conductor seating, before crimping. De-energize any connected network equipment before handling live patch panels or active ports.
