Networking cable LOGON TCU55U0025M Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) 2.5 m Magenta RJ-45 gold-plated

LOGON TCU55U0025M is a 2.5 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) networking cable with a magenta jacket and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) and maintains a 100 Ohm impedance suitable for Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability, while the boot with kink protection and strain relief reduces wear at the connector interface.

Advantages

The unshielded U/UTP construction provides reliable signal transmission for typical home and office networks while remaining flexible and easy to route. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance long-term connectivity by resisting oxidation. The molded boot with strain relief and kink protection reduces the risk of cable damage at frequent bend points. The magenta jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and bundled installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office or home networks
• Linking networked devices such as printers and access points
• Short runs inside server cabinets, wall outlets or desk setups

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, such as a router, switch or network interface on a computer. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with cable ties or organizers if necessary to prevent strain on the connectors. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional configuration.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for runs within the same room or cabinet up to the specified length. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or heavy electrical equipment to minimize electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the molded boots and connector contacts and replace the cable if physical damage or degraded connectivity is observed.
