UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0030-YELLOW, Cat5e, 0.3 m, PVC jacket, CCA conductors

Short UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-0030-YELLOW, Cat5e, 0.3 m, PVC jacket, CCA conductors is a compact Ethernet lead intended for short-distance connections between network devices. With a 0.3 m length and flexible PVC outer jacket, the cable is suitable for tidy patching between wall outlets, switches, patch panels and nearby equipment in home and office environments. The cable uses CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors and conforms to Cat5e performance for typical Ethernet and Fast Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The cable’s short length reduces clutter in patching areas and facilitates organized cable routing in dense setups. A flexible PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and easy handling during installation. Cat5e performance supports 100BASE-TX and other common network standards for reliable data transfer over short runs. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective conductor option while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ45 terminations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and nearby devices
• Connecting wall outlets to local equipment
• Short connections in patch panels and rack-mounted equipment
• Home networking where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.3 m
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Outer jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (8P8C)
• Typical use: Ethernet / Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps)

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding ports on network devices, such as switches, routers or computer NICs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the ends; the short length is designed for close-proximity patching rather than long runs. Verify link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm successful link negotiation.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat5e patch cable for tidy, short-distance connections inside racks, at desktops, or between wall outlets and devices. Avoid using CCA-based cables in applications requiring high power-over-Ethernet delivery or long-distance runs; for PoE or extended lengths, consider cables with solid copper conductors and appropriate power ratings.
