UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0030-RED 0.3 m Cat5e PVC CCA

Straight UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0030-RED is a short Cat5e network cable with a 0.3 m length, PVC jacket and CCA (copper-clad aluminium) conductors. It is intended for short Ethernet connections such as linking devices to patch panels, switches or wall ports where a compact, flexible cable is preferred. The cable meets Cat5e performance for typical local-area network tasks and is color-coded red to aid identification within a structured cabling environment.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact and flexible connection for short-distance networking thanks to its 0.3 m length and soft PVC jacket. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective alternative to pure copper while maintaining adequate signal transmission for typical Cat5e applications. The standardized RJ45 terminations and Cat5e specification ensure compatibility with Ethernet devices up to 1 Gbps in suitable installation conditions. The red jacket improves visual identification in multi-cable installations and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Home and small office network cabling where short jumper cables are needed
• Color-coded patching to distinguish network segments or functions
• Temporary or test connections in server rooms or workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.3 m
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminium)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 straight
• Data rate: up to 1 Gbps in appropriate conditions
• Color: red

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device and the other plug to the port on the switch, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the red cable for short links within racks, between adjacent devices or at workstations where a 0.3 m length avoids excess slack. Verify network link status on devices after connection to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for short, indoor connections only; avoid long runs or outdoor exposure. For installations requiring maximum bandwidth, lowest attenuation or critical enterprise links, consider using solid copper Cat5e or higher-category cables. Route the cable to prevent sharp bends and avoid placing it near heavy electrical interference sources for stable performance.
