Network patch cable LOGON Cat5e U/UTP 20 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 Orange

LOGON Cat5e U/UTP network patch cable, 20 m, with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable meets Cat5e performance parameters and is designed for Ethernet connections in home, office and structured cabling environments. The cable uses 4 pairs of 26/7 AWG conductors with 100 Ω impedance and features gold‑plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs for reliable signal transfer. The orange outer jacket improves visibility and identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The unshielded Cat5e construction provides stable performance for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to the rated length. Gold‑plated RJ-45 contacts reduce corrosion and ensure consistent electrical contact. Integral strain relief boots with kink protection increase connector longevity and help prevent cable damage at connection points. The 20 m length reduces the need for intermediate patching and supports flexible placement of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within home and small office networks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in structured cabling
• Temporary or permanent network runs where an identifiable cable color is useful

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible network devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of electrical interference. For structured installations, label each end and use appropriate cable management accessories to maintain order in patch panels and racks.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid tight coils and sharp bends with a radius smaller than the cable diameter, keep the cable away from high‑power electrical lines to reduce noise, and use the orange jacket to quickly identify this run among other cables during maintenance.
