Ethernet UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-BLUE — Cat5e, 1 m, PVC jacket, CCA conductor

LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-BLUE is a Cat5e UTP Ethernet patch cable with a 1 m length, PVC outer jacket and CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductor. It is designed to provide standard network connections between switches, routers, PCs and patch panels in home and office environments. The cable supports common 100 Mbps Ethernet and can carry Gigabit signals reliably over short runs where Cat5e performance is sufficient. Flexible PVC sheathing and moulded RJ45 terminations offer straightforward installation and tidy cable routing.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with a compact 1 m length for minimal clutter and easy patching in racks and desktop setups. The PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and flexibility for routing through cable ducts or behind furniture. CCA conductors reduce material cost while maintaining electrical continuity for typical Ethernet use in short-distance connections. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network equipment and wall plates.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in small racks or enclosures
• Short point-to-point links in home networks and office cubicles
• Temporary setups where short, visible cable runs are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminum)
• Outer jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 terminations
• Typical supported speeds: 100 Mbps; suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Application environment: indoor, office and home use

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the Ethernet port of your device and the corresponding port on the switch or router until the latch clicks. Use the 1 m cable to establish direct connections where devices are close together, for example between a desktop PC and a nearby switch or between patch panel ports. Avoid tight bends with a small radius and do not place heavy objects on the cable to preserve conductor integrity and signal quality. If terminating to wall plates or custom connectors, ensure correct wire pair alignment and test the link with a network tester after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat5e patch cable for short indoor runs and routine office or home networking tasks. Avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. For longer runs or installations requiring full solid-copper conductors and maximum Gigabit performance, consider Cat5e or higher cables with solid copper conductors.
