UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-YELLOW 1 m PVC CCA, Category: Network Cable

UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-010-YELLOW is a 1 m Category 5e Ethernet patch lead with a PVC outer jacket and copper-coated aluminium (CCA) conductors. Designed for short-distance connections, the cable supports data and voice transmission between switches, patch panels, routers and network devices. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility for cable management and helps identify specific runs in racks, comms cabinets and office environments.

Advantages

The cable combines a flexible PVC sheath with lightweight CCA conductors to deliver a cost-effective solution for indoor patching. Its Category 5e construction meets the performance expectations for typical 100BASE-TX and gigabit-capable horizontal runs over short distances. Standard RJ45 terminations provide broad compatibility with network equipment, while the 1 m length minimizes excess cable in dense patching areas. The yellow jacket aids quick identification and reduces the chance of accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data racks and server rooms
• Short connections between routers, hubs and desktop network ports
• Voice over IP phone connections and workstation patching
• Temporary or permanent patching in offices, classrooms and labs

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), Category 5e
• Length: 1 m
• Conductor material: copper-coated aluminium (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: yellow
• Use environment: indoor patching and horizontal cabling

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring a firm click indicates proper seating. Route the cable along cable management trays or behind equipment to prevent strain or interference, avoiding sharp bends and sources of heat. For best performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the application and replace any cable with visible damage or excessive wear.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m patch cable for short-distance indoor connections where cost-effective CCA conductors meet performance needs. Avoid using CCA-based cables for long backbone runs or in installations requiring maximum conductivity and PoE at higher power levels; in such cases, consider full copper alternatives.
