FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-0010-BLACK 0.1m CCA, shielded Cat5e, 1×0.1 m length

Shielded FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-0010-BLACK is a Cat5e network cable with copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors, foil shielding and a compact 0.1 m length. It is designed for short, reliable connections in structured cabling environments where space is limited, such as between network devices in server racks, patch panels and wall outlets. The foil shield reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity for typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications within short runs.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with foil shielding to mitigate external noise and crosstalk. Its very short 0.1 m length is suitable for tidy connections in tight spaces and prevents excess cable slack. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective alternative to solid copper while remaining compatible with standard RJ45 terminations. The shielded design improves stability in environments with adjacent power cables or dense electronics.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch ports to patch panels in crowded racks
• Short links between routers, switches and network appliances
• Compact network installations where cable management is important
• Temporary test connections and bench setups

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Conductor material: Copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Shielding: Foil (FTP)
• Length: 0.1 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated
• Suitable for: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on each network device until it clicks, ensuring correct alignment to avoid damaging the plug. Use this 0.1 m patch cable for direct port-to-port connections where no additional slack is required. Avoid excessive bending at the connector area and ensure the foil shield makes proper contact with shielded ports if using shielded equipment. For best results, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this short shielded cable within a structured patching panel or rack environment and pair it with compatible shielded connectors or metal chassis that provide a continuous ground path. Inspect connectors for secure seating and avoid using CCA cables for long-distance runs or applications that explicitly require pure copper conductors.
