Networking cable LOGON TCU55U200M Cat5e U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 20 m, magenta

LOGON TCU55U200M Cat5e U/UTP networking cable is a 20 m patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. This unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable supports Cat5e performance for Ethernet and LAN connections and is finished in magenta for easy identification or color-coded installations in home, office or rack environments.

Advantages

The cable uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) with a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohm, providing stable signal transmission for typical Cat5e applications. Both RJ-45 plugs include boots with kink protection and strain relief to reduce connector stress and extend service life. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The visible magenta jacket helps with cable management and quick visual tracing in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections up to Cat5e speeds in home or small office networks
• Patch panels and switches in data cabinets and server racks
• Temporary or permanent cabling where color-coding simplifies identification
• Connecting PCs, printers, network devices and PoE-enabled equipment within supported power limits

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 20 m
• Conductor structure: 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 (stranded) twisted pairs
• Characteristic impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket color: magenta
• Boot: integrated kink protection and strain relief
• Installation: plug-and-play

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your switch, router or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the boot with kink protection helps prevent damage at the connector. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended lengths.

Recommendations

For reliable network performance, use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for standard Ethernet links within its specified length. When deploying multiple cables in racks or trays, use the magenta color for clear identification and separate data and power runs to minimize electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show visible damage.
