FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-150-YELLOW 15 m CCA, shielded Cat5e

LYNX CS LX-FTP5E-150-YELLOW is a shielded FTP patch cable, 15 m long, conforming to Cat5e performance and fitted with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors. The cable is intended for Ethernet and general data connections where reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) is required. The yellow outer jacket provides high visibility for cable identification in office, home or server-room environments while maintaining Cat5e-level signal transmission suitable for typical local area network applications.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, improving signal stability in environments with multiple electrical sources. The 15 m length covers mid-range patching needs without additional couplers. The visible yellow jacket simplifies cable management and troubleshooting. Using CCA conductors makes the cable lighter and typically more cost-effective while retaining the electrical characteristics expected of Cat5e cabling for standard Ethernet speeds.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching between switches, routers and wall outlets within offices and homes
• Server-room horizontal or patch-panel connections where shielded cabling is preferred
• Temporary network setups and installations where a distinct cable color aids organization
• General Cat5e applications requiring reduced EMI and visible cable routing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (FTP, shielded)
• Length: 15 m
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminum)
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Typical use: Ethernet and data networking

How to use

Connect one end of the LYNX CS FTP patch cable to the network device (switch, router, network interface) and the other end to the target port such as a wall outlet or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing, or prolonged stress near connectors. If using shielded ports or grounded panels, verify the shield continuity for proper EMI reduction.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid installing the cable in environments with extreme mechanical stress or prolonged exposure to moisture. Use shielded connectors and proper grounding in installations where EMI is a concern. Replace cable if the jacket shows visible damage or if network performance degrades.
