LOGON networking cable TCU55U030M — Cat5e U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 3 m, magenta, gold-plated contacts

LOGON networking cable TCU55U030M is a 3 m Cat5e U/UTP Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The unshielded twisted pair construction (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) and 100 Ω characteristic impedance make it suitable for typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit-ready LAN connections between routers, switches, network interface cards and patch panels. The cable features boots with kink protection and strain relief to reduce connector stress and extend service life, and a visible spot marking on the boot for quick length identification.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP cable provides a cost-effective, standard-compliant solution for wired local area networks. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure reliable signal transfer. The 26/7 stranded conductors offer flexibility for routing in confined spaces while maintaining expected electrical characteristics for Cat5e performance. Built-in strain relief and kink protection at the connector boots reduce mechanical wear during installation and frequent reconnections.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or modems
• Patch panel to network equipment links in small office or home networks
• Direct connection between PCs, printers and network devices
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Category: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Conductor: 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 stranded copper
• Characteristic impedance: 100 Ω
• Connectors: RJ-45 male — both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Boot: with kink protection and strain relief

• Installation: plug-and-play

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch, PC or other network device and insert the other end into the corresponding port of the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing heavy objects on it. For rack or patch-panel use, use the boot’s strain relief to reduce stress at the connector and secure excess cable length with ties or cable management accessories.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for structured cabling (maximum 100 m for horizontal links). Avoid close parallel runs alongside high-voltage power cables or strong electromagnetic sources. Use this Cat5e cable for typical home and office Ethernet needs where Cat5e performance and flexible stranded construction are required.
