Ethernet FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-0050-GREEN 0.5 m Cat5e green CCA

Shielded FTP Ethernet patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-0050-GREEN, 0.5 m, Cat5e specification, green jacket, with CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) conductors. Designed for short horizontal or patch connections in wired networks, this cable provides the electrical characteristics required for 100 Mbps Ethernet links while adding foil shielding to reduce external electromagnetic interference. The compact 0.5 m length makes it suitable for connecting adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets where a short, visible colored cable is preferred.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with foil-shielded FTP construction to limit interference in environments with moderate electrical noise. CCA conductors lower weight and material cost while maintaining conductivity adequate for short runs. The green jacket improves visual identification and cable management in racks and patch fields. Standard RJ45 connectors offer compatibility with common network equipment and the short length reduces excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in server rooms and network cabinets
• Connecting routers, modems and network appliances where cable runs are under 1 m
• Visible color-coded links for organized cabling and easy identification
• Workstation to wall outlet patching in office desks and meeting rooms

Key specifications

• Cable type: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Performance category: Cat5e — suitable for 100 Mbps Ethernet
• Conductor material: Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket color: green
• Application: patch cable for short runs

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices to be linked until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure connection. Use this 0.5 m cable for direct, short-distance links where routing through cable management is minimal. For best results, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and maintain the foil shield continuity by ensuring connected equipment or patch panels provide adequate grounding for shield termination.

Usage recommendations

Use the LYNX CS Cat5e FTP patch cable for short, shielded connections in environments with moderate EMI. Do not use CCA cables for long runs or PoE applications requiring high current delivery; choose full copper conductors for extended distances or higher power needs. For neat installations, route the cable along cable management paths and avoid placing it alongside strong power lines when possible.
