FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-010-YELLOW Cat5e 1 m, yellow

Shielded FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-010-YELLOW Cat5e 1 m in yellow is a flexible networking cable intended for short Ethernet connections. The cable implements Cat5e performance parameters with an overall foil shield (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. With an RJ45 termination at each end and a one-meter length, it is designed for tidy patching between switches, patch panels, routers and wall outlets in offices, server rooms and home networks.

Advantages

The shielded foil layer of this Cat5e cable lowers crosstalk and external noise, which contributes to more stable data transmission at standard Cat5e speeds. Its 1 m length keeps cable runs short and manageable, reducing clutter and improving airflow in rack or desktop setups. The yellow outer sheath provides clear visual identification for network segments and simplifies cable management. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with common Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and patch panels in racks or cabinets
• Connecting routers, modems and desktop devices within short distances
• Structured cabling short links in offices, meeting rooms and home networks
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is desirable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (enhanced performance for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over short runs)
• Shielding: Foil shield (FTP) for reduced external interference
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper conductors compatible with patch applications (verify product packing for conductor type)
• Outer sheath color: Yellow

How to use

Insert an RJ45 connector end into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other end into the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends or pinch points that could damage the cable or degrade shielding. For best signal quality, keep the cable length appropriate for the run and separate it from high-voltage power lines when possible. When routing in racks or under desks, use cable ties or organizers to maintain clear airflow and prevent stress on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this FTP Cat5e patch cable for short horizontal patching and device interconnects where foil shielding helps reduce interference. Match cable color to your site’s color-coding scheme to simplify maintenance. For connections requiring longer distances or higher performance, consider higher-category cables such as Cat6 or Cat6a.
