Networking Cable LOGON TCU55U020P RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Purple

The LOGON TCU55U020P is a 2 m UTP Cat5e networking patch cable with RJ-45 connectors, designed for standard Ethernet connections. It uses four twisted pairs (AWG 26/7) with a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohm, a 1:1 pinout and molded boots with kink protection and strain relief. The cable is finished in purple for easy identification in installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable offers reliable data transmission for 100BASE-TX and other Fast Ethernet applications thanks to its U/UTP unshielded design and 26/7 stranded conductors. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact resistance and corrosion resistance, while the molded boot with spot length on the boot reduces connector damage and helps relieve strain at the termination point.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within local area networks
• Patch panels and wall outlets in office or server rack environments
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP Cat5e, unshielded twisted pair
• Length: 2 m
• Conductors: 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 (stranded)
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Pinout: 1:1
• Colour: Purple

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other into the target port or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable management accessories if needed. The molded boots provide additional protection at the connector ends during regular handling.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e cable for Ethernet links up to 100 metres in structured cabling and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. For Gigabit Ethernet or longer runs, consider Cat5e-certified testing or higher-category cables if required by your network design.
