Networking cable LOGON TCU55U100V Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) Purple 10 m RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCU55U100V Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) Purple 10 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 10-meter Ethernet patch cable designed for standard Cat5e network installations. The cable uses unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP / UTP) construction and is terminated with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends. Its purple jacket provides easy visual identification in cabling bundles and horizontal patching panels, while the Cat5e specification supports reliable data and voice transmission for home and small office networks.

Advantages

The cable offers consistent electrical performance meeting Cat5e parameters for up to 100 MHz, enabling stable 100BASE-TX and nominal Gigabit-capable links in typical short-run scenarios. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in racks, under desks, and through conduits. Factory-crimped RJ-45 connectors ensure a secure plug-and-play connection to switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces. The coloured purple jacket simplifies cable management and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and VoIP phones to switches and routers
• Patching between network switches and patch panels in wiring closets
• Short to medium length horizontal runs in home and small office LANs
• Temporary or permanent network connections where colour-coding is desired

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Cable category: Cat5e
• Construction: Unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP / UTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
• Colour: Purple
• Typical frequency rating: up to 100 MHz

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best performance, avoid running network cables in parallel with mains power cables over long distances.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for standard 100BASE-TX and short-run Gigabit connections where Cat5e performance is sufficient. For environments with high electromagnetic interference or for guaranteed multi-gigabit performance, consider shielded cables or higher category (Cat6/Cat6a) solutions. Maintain gentle bend radii and secure cables with Velcro ties or cable organizers rather than metal clamps to preserve connector and cable integrity.
