Patchcord UTP 8‑core LP 1 m CCA — RJ45 plug to plug, Ethernet patch cable

LP UTP 8-core 1 m patchcord with RJ45 plug-to-plug terminations is a compact Ethernet patch cable intended for short-distance LAN connections. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four pairs (8 conductors) and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors, providing a cost-effective and lightweight option for linking switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in typical office and home network environments.

Advantages

The LP patchcord combines UTP pair twisting for standard signal integrity with CCA conductors that reduce weight and material cost compared to pure copper cables. Its 1 m length minimizes cable clutter in patching bays and server racks while maintaining the flexibility needed for tight routing. RJ45 plug-to-plug ends support common Ethernet connectors and are compatible with 8P8C ports used in most network equipment.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and patch panels in racks
• Connecting routers, modems and access points to local LAN ports
• Short horizontal runs between wall outlets and nearby devices
• Temporary or semi-permanent connections in office and home networks

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Conductors: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Number of conductors: 8 (4 twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: RJ45 plug to RJ45 plug (8P8C)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 plug into the network port of the first device and the other plug into the second device until the connector latches. Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing does not place excessive strain on the plugs. For best performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from high-power electrical sources and strong electromagnetic interference. Use the 1 m length for direct patching inside racks, between adjacent patch panels, or to connect a nearby device to a wall outlet.

Usage recommendations

Use this CCA-based UTP patchcord for short-distance Ethernet connections where cost and cable weight are priorities. For critical links requiring maximum conductivity and long runs, consider full copper cables. Inspect connectors and verify link speed after installation; replace the patchcord if physical damage or degraded performance is observed.
