LOGON Cat6 U/UTP (UTP) networking cable TCU66U050M, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, Magenta

LOGON Cat6 U/UTP (UTP) networking cable TCU66U050M is a 5 m patch lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for Cat6 Ethernet links. The unshielded U/UTP construction with four twisted pairs (26 AWG, 7 strands) and 100 Ω characteristic impedance supports structured cabling in homes, offices and data closets. The magenta jacket provides quick visual identification in patch panels and cable bundles while molded boots with kink protection and strain relief improve connector durability.

Advantages

The cable delivers Cat6 performance with 3P Category 6 certification for reliable gigabit Ethernet and lower crosstalk compared with lower categories. Its RJ-45 male-to-male terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. The flexible 5 m length balances reach and cable management, and the colored jacket simplifies tracing and organization in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to switches or wall sockets
• Patch panel to switch connections in small offices or home labs
• Temporary or permanent links between network devices where a 5 m reach is required
• Visible cable runs where color-coding simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: 4 × 2 AWG 26/7 (stranded)
• Characteristic impedance: 100 Ω
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network interface of your device and the other into the switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of sources of electrical interference. For patch panel installations, use the colored jacket to assign and document connections according to your rack or cabinet labeling scheme.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for Gigabit Ethernet and other 1 Gbps network applications; for 10 Gbps links over longer distances consider certified Cat6a or higher cable types. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force when installing; maintain bend radius recommended for stranded 26 AWG cables and secure with Velcro ties rather than metal clips to prevent damage to the jacket and conductors.
