UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-RED 1 m, Cat5e, CCA conductor, red

LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-RED is a 1 m Cat5e UTP patch cable with a CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductor and a red outer jacket. The cable follows Category 5e specifications for Ethernet patching and short connections in offices, server racks and home networks. Its unshielded twisted pair construction and CCA conductor provide standard Cat5e signal characteristics suitable for typical 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps LAN setups depending on network equipment and distances. The red jacket makes identification and cable management easier in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable combines a compact 1 m length with a flexible UTP design for straightforward patching between ports and within racks. The copper-clad aluminum conductor offers reduced weight while maintaining electrical continuity for Cat5e applications. The red color jacket improves visual organization, helping to separate network segments or identify specific connections in structured cabling deployments. The cable is suitable for short link runs where standard Cat5e performance is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in offices and home networks
• Patching ports in data racks and patch panels
• Short point-to-point links between switches, routers and networked devices
• Color-coded cable management and identification in multi-cable setups

Key specifications

• Length: 1 m
• Category: Cat5e
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminum)
• Construction: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Color: Red jacket
• Compatible speeds: typical Cat5e support up to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps depending on equipment and link conditions

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring secure seating until the connector latches. Use the 1 m cable for short connections such as patching between adjacent ports in a patch panel, connecting a switch to a nearby router, or linking a networked device to a wall outlet. Keep bend radii moderate and avoid excessive pulling to maintain conductor integrity. For organized installations, route the cable along designated trays or cable ties while allowing some slack for service access.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP patch cable for short indoor connections and organized patching; avoid using CCA conductor cables for long runs or in installations where higher conductivity of solid copper conductors is required. For critical infrastructure or PoE deployments where manufacturer guidelines specify copper conductors, choose a cable with solid copper conductors instead.
