UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-020-GREY 2m PVC CCA

UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-020-GREY 2m PVC CCA is a 2-metre Ethernet patch lead with a PVC outer jacket and copper‑coated aluminum (CCA) conductors, designed for Cat5e networks. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction and terminated with standard RJ‑45 connectors to connect network devices in local area networks. It is intended for patching between switches, routers, computers and other Ethernet‑enabled equipment in home and office environments where Cat5e performance is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a cost‑effective connection option by using CCA conductors while preserving compatibility with Cat5e wiring standards. Its 2 m length fits typical desk-to-equipment runs, and the PVC jacket offers basic mechanical protection and insulation. Standard RJ‑45 terminations ensure plug‑and‑play compatibility with existing network ports without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Patching between PC and wall outlet or switch in home or office networks
• Connecting routers, modems and unmanaged switches within short distances
• Temporary network setups, lab benches and equipment racks with short cable runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2 metres
• Conductor type: copper‑coated aluminum (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Colour: grey

How to use

Insert one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the device to be connected and the other end into the corresponding port on the switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of mechanical damage. For best signal reliability, keep the cable length within the specified 2 m and away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP patch cable for standard Ethernet links where cost efficiency is a priority and runs are short. For installations requiring higher bandwidth, shielded cabling, long runs, or guaranteed copper performance, consider Cat6/6a or pure copper conductors instead of CCA. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connector shows visible damage.
