Networking cable LOGON TCU55U200P — Cat5e U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 20 m, purple, gold-plated contacts

LOGON TCU55U200P is a 20 m purple Cat5e U/UTP network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. Built for Ethernet links in home and office environments, this unshielded cable supports Fast Ethernet and short-run Gigabit connections where Cat5e performance is sufficient. The cable uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) with a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohm and includes boots with kink protection and strain relief to reduce wear at connector junctions.

Advantages

The LOGON Cat5e cable offers reliable signal transmission for structured cabling and patching tasks thanks to its U/UTP construction and consistent twisted-pair geometry. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance at connector interfaces. The 20 m length provides flexibility for linking racks, patch panels, switches and wall outlets without intermediate adapters, while the molded boots with strain relief reduce the risk of accidental cable damage and maintain connector integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patching between patch panels and network switches in server rooms or wiring closets
• Short-run Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat5e specification is adequate
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs that require a visible color for cable management

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Cable type: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Conductor: 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 (stranded twisted pairs)
• Characteristic impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: purple
• Boot: molded with kink protection and strain relief
• Wiring: 1:1 straight-through termination

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 end into the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other end into the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable ties or Velcro straps for neat management and to prevent strain on the boots. For structured cabling, label each end to match port assignments and verify the link with a network tester if precise performance verification is required.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. Use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for typical Ethernet installations up to 100 m where Cat5e meets network speed and bandwidth requirements; for longer runs or environments with significant electromagnetic interference consider shielded or higher-category cabling.
