Network patch cable LOGON Cat5e UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 7.5 m, black

LOGON Cat5e UTP patch cable, 7.5 m, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends is designed for straightforward Ethernet connectivity in offices, homes and data cabinets. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction and 100 Ω impedance meet Cat5e requirements and support Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over short runs. The black PVC jacket and molded boots with strain relief provide a practical, low-visibility solution for patching switches, routers, computers and patch panels.

Advantages

This LOGON Cat5e cable offers reliable signal integrity for typical local networking tasks thanks to 4 pairs of 26 AWG stranded conductors, controlled 100 Ω characteristic impedance and standard RJ‑45 terminations. Molded boots include kink protection and strain relief to reduce connector stress and improve durability. A printed spot length on the boot helps with cable management and identification in racks and closets.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking routers or modems to desktop PCs
• Short-run gigabit or fast Ethernet connections within offices or homes
• Temporary or permanent patching in wiring closets

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by your equipment. Insert one RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of the first device and the other connector into the second device’s Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pressure points; use the printed spot length on the boot for quick identification when installing multiple runs. After connecting, verify link LEDs or network status on both devices and perform network tests if required.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP cable for short to moderate runs where Cat5e performance is sufficient. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For permanently installed or longer-distance runs requiring higher performance or additional protection, consider shielded cables or higher-category cabling such as Cat6 or Cat6a.
