Networking cable LOGON TCU55U015P Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) Purple 1.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45 gold-plated contacts

LOGON TCU55U015P is a 1.5 m Cat5e network patch cable with U/UTP (UTP) construction and a purple jacket. Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent signal transfer for Ethernet links. The cable uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) with a nominal impedance of 100 Ohm and is intended for short-distance connections between routers, switches, computers and other network devices.

Advantages

The cable’s U/UTP (UTP) design provides standard Cat5e performance suitable for 100BASE-TX and other Fast Ethernet applications. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the boot with kink protection and strain relief decreases mechanical stress at the connector. A clearly visible purple jacket aids identification in patched racks and cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections in home and small office networks
• Patching between switch ports and patch panels
• Connecting routers, modems and networked devices over short distances
• Temporary or permanent wiring where color-coded cabling is useful

How to use

To use the LOGON Cat5e patch cable, plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into a switch, router or patch panel port. The cable is pre-terminated and ready for plug-and-play operation; no configuration is required. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the boots to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for Ethernet (1.5 m for this cable), avoid running next to high-voltage power cables that can cause interference, and inspect boots and connectors regularly for mechanical wear. Use color-coded cables like the purple jacket to simplify identification in multi-cable installations.
