FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-010-GREEN — Cat5e, 1 m, green, CCA

Shielded FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-010-GREEN is a Cat5e-rated network cable with a 1 m length and a green PVC jacket. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and a foil shield (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for short Ethernet runs between devices in home and small office networks. It is terminated with standard RJ45 connectors and supports typical Cat5e applications such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at short distances consistent with Cat5e performance.

Advantages

The foil shielding around the twisted pairs lowers susceptibility to external electromagnetic noise and crosstalk, improving signal stability in environments with nearby electronic equipment or power cabling. The compact 1 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for patch panels, wall ports, or connecting adjacent devices in racks and desks. The green jacket provides color-coding for easy identification in multi-cable installations. Using CCA conductors yields a lighter, cost-effective cable suitable for non-critical short links where full solid copper is not required.

Suitable for

• Patching switches, routers and network ports within a rack or desk area
• Short Ethernet connections between adjacent devices in home or small office setups
• Color-coded cable runs for organized network installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class
• Shielding: Foil shield (FTP) around twisted pairs
• Conductor type: Copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector: RJ45 terminated
• Jacket colour: Green, PVC outer sheath
• Suitable for: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at short distances compatible with Cat5e

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device and the other to the port on the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the clip locks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and run it away from high-power electrical cables where possible to minimise interference. For installations requiring a shielded connection end-to-end, verify that connected equipment or patch panels provide a grounding path for the foil shield.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m FTP Cat5e patch cable for short, colour-coded links in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial. Avoid using CCA-based cables for long runs or in installations where certified solid-copper cabling is required for warranty or performance guarantees. Check that both ends of the connection support shielded cabling if you need the shield to be effective.
