FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-070-GREY 7 m Cat5e CCA

Shielded FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-070-GREY is a 7-meter Category 5e network cable with CCA (copper-clad aluminium) conductors and foil shielding. It is designed to deliver Cat5e performance for Ethernet and network connections while providing additional protection against electromagnetic interference through an overall foil shield. The cable is intended for short- to medium-length runs in home and office environments where a shielded connection is preferred or required.

Advantages

The foil-shielded construction reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or cable bundles. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective alternative to pure copper while maintaining sufficient conductivity for Cat5e applications. The 7 m length provides flexibility for connecting patch panels, switches, routers and wall outlets without excessive slack. The cable’s Category 5e specification supports standard Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps in typical deployment scenarios.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections between switches, routers and network devices within homes and small offices
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in structured cabling
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is desirable
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a 7 meter shielded Cat5e cable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 7 m
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Shielding: overall foil (FTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (8P8C)
• Typical supported network: 10/100/1000BASE-T (Cat5e performance)
• Outer jacket colour: grey

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring minimal bends and avoiding sharp kinks. Connect RJ45 plugs firmly into the corresponding ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces until the latch clicks. Maintain proper cable bend radius and avoid placing the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to preserve shielding effectiveness. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the jacket or compromising the shield.

Usage recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e patch cable for short to medium runs where EMI reduction is beneficial. Verify that connected equipment and patch panels support shielded cabling and that proper grounding practices are followed for optimum shield performance. For runs longer than typical patch lengths or for environments requiring higher bandwidth or lower attenuation, consider certified Cat6/6A cables or solid copper conductors.
