UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0010-BLUE 0.1 m PVC CCA

Short UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0010-BLUE is a 0.1 m Ethernet lead with a PVC jacket and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors. The cable meets Cat5e performance parameters for short connections and is intended for connecting patch panels, switches, routers and other network devices where a very short jumper is needed. The blue jacket provides visual identification to simplify cable tracing and management in racks and workspaces.

Advantages

The compact 0.1 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation in tightly packed panels. PVC outer sheath offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility for routing in confined spaces. CCA conductors provide cost-efficient conductivity for standard Ethernet applications while the Cat5e wiring scheme supports up to 1 Gbps links over appropriate channel lengths. Molded RJ45 plugs ensure a secure fit into standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between adjacent ports on patch panels
• Interconnecting ports on switches and rack-mounted network equipment
• Temporary or permanent short links in office and data center environments
• Color-coded cable management and port identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance for Ethernet
• Length: 0.1 m (10 cm)
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends, molded boots
• Color: blue

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short-distance patching only; avoid using this cable as the primary run for long horizontal or backbone links. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connectors, and secure it with cable ties or management accessories as needed to prevent accidental disconnection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 0.1 m Cat5e patch cable for adjacent port connections in patch panels and switch arrays. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive tension, moisture, or heat, and do not substitute CCA cabling where full solid copper conductors are required by installation standards or for long-distance runs.
