Networking cable LOGON TCU55U100M Cat5e U/UTP 10 m Magenta RJ-45 to RJ-45

LOGON TCU55U100M Cat5e U/UTP 10 m Magenta RJ-45 to RJ-45 is a 10-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for standard Cat5e networks. It uses unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction with four twisted pairs of 26 AWG conductors and 100 Ω characteristic impedance. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 male connectors featuring gold-plated contacts and a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief for reliable connections in home and office LAN environments.

Advantages

The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet within Cat5e specifications and provides reliable signal transmission for short to medium cable runs. Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion and improve contact stability, while the molded boot and strain relief minimise connector damage and bending stress. The magenta jacket makes the cable easy to identify in crowded patch panels and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and network interfaces in home or small office networks
• Patching between patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Temporary or permanent desktop and rack connections where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Color-coded cable management and identification in multi-cable installations

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Category: Cat5e (U/UTP, unshielded twisted pair)
• Conductor: 4 pairs, 26 AWG (stranded, 7 strands per conductor)
• Characteristic impedance: 100 Ω
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Magenta
• Boot: Molded boot with kink protection and strain relief
• Wiring: 1:1 straight-through wiring (T568A/T568B compatible)

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network device port and the other into the target device or patch panel port until the plug clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the boot; use cable ties or organisers to keep runs neat and prevent strain on connectors. For patch panel installation, ensure the cable is seated correctly in the panel port and that adjacent cables do not force the connector out of place.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for connections up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds where shielded cable is not required. Avoid installing alongside high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity. For longer runs or environments with significant interference, consider higher-category or shielded cables.
