UTP Patch Cable LYNX CS Cat5e 5 m, yellow

LYNX CS UTP Patch Cable Cat5e, 5 m in yellow provides a practical, everyday solution for wired Ethernet connections. The cable supports Cat5e performance for 100BASE-TX and gigabit-ready networks where Cat5e parameters are sufficient. Flexible unshielded twisted pair construction and standard RJ45 terminations enable straightforward connection between LAN devices such as routers, switches, patch panels and networked appliances. The 5-metre length and distinctive yellow jacket improve cable routing and visual identification in home, office or rack environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP patch cable combines reliable signal transmission with ease of handling. The flexible jacket simplifies installation in tight spaces while the twisted-pair design reduces near-end crosstalk typical for Cat5e-class cabling. The bright yellow colour makes tracing and managing cables easier in multi-cable installations. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet equipment and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and access points
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment
• Short runs in office, home or small server rack environments
• Color-coded cable management and network identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (UTP)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor type: stranded copper (flexible)
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Impedance: 100 ohm (typical for Cat5e)
• Compliance: suitable for Ethernet 100BASE-TX and typical gigabit LAN topologies using Cat5e cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical stress near the connector ends; leave a small service loop where necessary. For best performance, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

Use the yellow LYNX CS Cat5e patch cable for visible, color-coded patching in racks or workspaces. For permanent horizontal cabling or when longer distances and higher performance are required, consider certified permanent link cabling with appropriate Category rating. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show significant wear.
