UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-030-BLUE 3 m PVC CCA

UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-030-BLUE 3 m PVC CCA is a Cat5e-compatible Ethernet patch cord with a 3‑metre length, PVC outer jacket and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors. It is intended for network patching and interconnection of devices such as switches, routers, desktop PCs and patch panels in home and office environments. The cable provides a flexible, coloured connection option for structured cabling and short horizontal runs within racks and workstations.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with a durable PVC jacket that resists abrasion and indoor environmental wear. CCA conductors offer a lower-cost alternative to solid copper while maintaining standard Ethernet connectivity for typical home and small-office applications. The 3 m length gives sufficient reach for most desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections without excess cable bulk.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within home or small office networks
• Patching between patch panels and network equipment in racks
• Temporary or semi-permanent desk and workstation cabling
• Use in Cat5e structured cabling where short runs and cost-effective conductors are acceptable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e compatible UTP patch cable
• Length: 3 m
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Shielding: unshielded (UTP)
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) moulded plugs
• Colour: blue
• Typical use: 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet (dependent on network equipment and run conditions)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable into the Ethernet port of a device (for example a computer, switch or router) and the connector at the other end into the corresponding port on the network equipment or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the clip locks to prevent accidental disconnection. For cable routing, avoid tight bends and pinching; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable with cable ties or organisers to reduce mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

Use this 3 m Cat5e UTP cable for typical home and small-office patching tasks where cost-effective CCA conductors are acceptable. Avoid using CCA cables for long backbone runs, PoE deployments with high current requirements, or installations that specify solid copper conductors. For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths and route away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as mains transformers and heavy machinery.
