Patchcord UTP LP 8‑core RJ45‑RJ45 0.5 m CCA yellow

LP patchcord UTP 8-core RJ45-RJ45, 0.5 m, CCA conductor, yellow jacket is a short Ethernet patch cable intended for quick connections between network equipment. The cable features unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with eight conductors and RJ45 plugs on both ends, providing a compact, colour-coded link suitable for patch panels, switches and connections inside network cabinets. Its half-metre length reduces excess cable clutter while the yellow jacket helps with visual organisation of network runs.

Advantages

The cable uses copper-coated aluminium (CCA) conductors to offer a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to solid copper while maintaining adequate conductivity for short runs and patching. The RJ45-to-RJ45 plug-to-plug configuration ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and patch panels. The 0.5 m length minimises cable slack in dense cabinet environments and the yellow outer jacket enables simple identification among multiple connections.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet links between switches, patch panels and routers within cabinets
• Colour-coded patching and cable management in data racks
• Temporary test connections and lab setups where short reach is required
• Home or office network points with limited space behind equipment

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Number of conductors: 8 (4 pairs)
• Conductor material: copper-coated aluminium (CCA)
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Jacket colour: yellow

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use this 0.5 m patchcord for short interconnections inside network cabinets, between switches and patch panels, or for connecting devices that are physically close to one another. Avoid using the cable for long-distance backbone links; it is designed for short patching and in-rack connections. Inspect plugs and jacket for damage before installation and ensure ports are powered down if required by your safety procedures.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length appropriate to the distance between devices and avoid tight bends near the connectors. Use colour-coding consistently across your rack to simplify identification. For critical or long-distance links, consider cables with solid copper conductors and appropriate shielding.
