Patchcord UTP 8-core LP, RJ45 plug-to-plug 0.5 m, CCA conductor, red

LP patchcord UTP 8-core, RJ45 plug-to-plug, 0.5 m in red is a short Ethernet patch cable designed for connecting patch panels, switches and network outlets over short distances. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with eight conductors and is terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends. Conductors are copper-clad aluminum (CCA), making the cable a cost-efficient option for local patching where full solid copper conductors are not required.

Advantages

This red 0.5 m patchcord offers compact, space-saving cabling for rack and desk-level connections. The UTP design provides compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and the RJ45 plug-to-plug termination enables immediate use without additional tooling. CCA conductors reduce material cost and weight while delivering acceptable performance for short patch runs in non-critical network segments.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch interconnections in server rooms and network cabinets
• Connecting wall outlets to nearby switches or routers
• Temporary or testbench cabling and short office runs

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Number of conductors: 8
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor material: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Connectors: RJ45 plug-to-plug
• Jacket color: red

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port on devices such as switches, patch panels or network outlets until the plug clicks into place. Use this patchcord for short connections where minimal cable length is required; avoid using for long horizontal cabling runs. Handle the cable without excessive bending at the connector ends and maintain standard cable management practices in racks or at workstations.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this CCA patchcord for short patching tasks and lab setups. Avoid deploying CCA cabling in long-distance runs or in environments where maximum conductivity and durability are critical. Keep patchcords well organized to prevent strain on the RJ45 plugs and ensure good connector seating.
