Networking cable LOGON TCU55U010M — Cat5e U/UTP, 1 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, magenta

LOGON TCU55U010M is a 1 m Cat5e U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. This magenta networking cable is intended for short Ethernet links in home and office environments, providing a reliable physical connection for switches, routers, patch panels and network devices that require Cat5e performance. The cable uses four twisted pairs (26 AWG, 7-strand) designed to maintain 100 ohm characteristic impedance and stable signal transfer for typical 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps local area network connections where Cat5e is appropriate.

Advantages

The LOGON Cat5e U/UTP cable features unshielded twisted pair construction for straightforward installation without grounding requirements. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability over repeated insertions. A molded boot with kink protection and strain relief reduces stress at the connector interface and the visible spot length marking on the boot helps identify cable length in dense cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patching ports on patch panels and Ethernet patch bays
• Short horizontal runs and desk connections where a 1 m cable is required
• Color-coding network segments for easier cable management

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e

• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket color: magenta
• Boot: molded with kink protection and strain relief; spot length marking

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other end into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. The cable is plug-and-play with standard network equipment; no additional configuration or grounding is required for U/UTP. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connectors and keep the cable untangled to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e cable for short, visible links where color identification is useful. Avoid running unshielded cables parallel to strong electrical sources for extended distances; maintain gentle bend radius at connector boots and do not exceed typical installation strain limits to preserve performance.
