UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0010-GREY 0.1 m Cat5e PVC CCA

Short UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0010-GREY is a 0.1 m Cat5e Ethernet lead with a PVC jacket and CCA (copper‑coated aluminum) conductor. It is intended for very short connections between network devices, patch panels, switches or keystone jacks where Cat5e performance is required over a minimal distance. The compact length helps reduce cable clutter in racks and enclosures and provides a neat, low-profile connection in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e wiring standards with a PVC outer sheath that offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility for routing. Using CCA conductor material provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the wiring geometry and impedance characteristics associated with Cat5e for short runs. The 0.1 m length minimizes excess cabling and improves cable management in patch panels, network racks and behind equipment.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between ports in racks or patch panels
• Connecting adjacent switches or devices with minimal distance
• Neat cabling behind wall plates, keystone jacks or small enclosures
• Temporary test setups and lab benches requiring short Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.1 m (10 cm)
• Conductor type: CCA (copper‑coated aluminum)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (standard eight‑position plug)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure mechanical connection. Use the 0.1 m patch lead to bridge adjacent ports in a patch panel, connect closely spaced network switches, or link a device to a keystone jack. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and maintain gentle routing to prevent stress on the plug. For installations in racks or enclosures, route the cable along existing cable management channels to keep the area tidy.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat5e patch cable where distance between ports does not exceed the cable length; for longer runs select a cable with solid copper conductors and appropriate length to meet signal integrity and power-over-Ethernet requirements. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or plug shows wear.
