UTP Cat5e patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-050-BLACK 5 m PVC CCA

UTP Cat5e patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-050-BLACK is a 5 m Ethernet patch cord with a PVC outer jacket and CCA (copper‑coated aluminum) conductors. Designed to deliver Cat5e performance for typical home and office networks, this cable connects switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices. The flexible PVC sheath allows straightforward routing through cable trays and under desks while maintaining reliable data transmission within Cat5e limits.

Advantages

The cable combines a durable PVC jacket with lightweight CCA conductors, providing a cost-effective solution for standard Ethernet cabling needs. With a 5 m length, the patch cord is long enough for most desktop and rack connections yet compact enough to minimize excess cable management. RJ45-terminated ends ensure compatibility with common network ports and the cable meets Cat5e performance parameters for data rates and signal integrity within its specifications.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network interfaces in small office/home office (SOHO) setups
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in network cabinets
• Temporary or permanent desktop and workstation cabling
• Home entertainment systems and media players requiring Ethernet access

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP Cat5e patch cable
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor material: CCA (copper‑coated aluminum)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Termination: RJ45 connectors
• Color: Black
• Performance class: Cat5e

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the device until it clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the 5 m length to route between wall outlets, patch panels and network equipment, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks to preserve conductor integrity. For best signal quality, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and large electrical devices that may cause interference. When installing in racks, use proper cable management clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for standard 10/100 Mbps and typical Gigabit Ethernet short-run applications within Cat5e specifications. Avoid using CCA cables in environments that require PoE delivery beyond specified limits or long backbone runs where copper solid conductors are preferred. For installations requiring higher bandwidth, shielded cabling, or long-distance links, consider Cat6/6a or solid copper alternatives.
