Networking cable LOGON Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) Purple 5 m RJ-45 to RJ-45

The LOGON Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) networking cable, 5 m in purple, is a patch cable designed for Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance. It features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for stable signal transmission. The unshielded U/UTP construction uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) with a characteristic impedance of 100 ohm, and the cable includes molded boots with kink protection and strain relief to reduce connector stress during installation and use.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP patch cable offers reliable data transmission for standard Ethernet networks and is compatible with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards that support Cat5e. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The molded boot with strain relief reduces wear at the connector, while the 5 m length provides flexibility for typical home and office layouts. The purple jacket simplifies cable identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network devices to switches and routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Short-to-medium length horizontal runs within racks and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e

How to use

Plug an RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. The cable is ready for immediate use with no configuration required (plug-and-play) for devices supporting Cat5e connections.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for horizontal cabling and avoid kinking or excessive bending at the connector. Label or color-code connections where multiple cables are present; the purple jacket can help with visual identification. If higher bandwidth or improved shielding is required, consider Cat6 or shielded alternatives.
