UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-100-GREY 10m PVC CCA

LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-100-GREY is a 10 m UTP patch cable designed for Cat5e Ethernet connections. The cable features a PVC outer jacket and copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors, delivering a lightweight and flexible link for patching between network devices. It is intended for use in home networks, small office installations and simple structured cabling where Cat5e performance is required and cost efficiency is a priority.

Advantages

This UTP patch cable combines standard Cat5e electrical characteristics with a PVC sheath that resists abrasion and provides basic protection against mechanical wear. The CCA conductors reduce weight and cost while maintaining adequate signal transmission for typical 100 Mbps and many gigabit Ethernet scenarios when used over short distances. The 10 m length offers flexibility in device placement without the need for additional couplers or extensions.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to end devices
• Patch panel to network equipment links in small racks
• Home network setups including media streaming and internet access
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling where budget-friendly Cat5e is acceptable

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 10 meters
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (standard 8P8C)
• Colour: grey
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, 100BASE-TX and suitable for many Gigabit deployments over short distances

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the network port on your device and into the corresponding port on switches, routers or patch panels until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the cable is not excessively bent near the connectors. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and sources of electromagnetic interference such as large power transformers or bundled high-voltage lines. For stable connections, verify link status on network devices after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for standard Cat5e applications in home and small office environments. Avoid long runs beyond the recommended Ethernet limits for Cat5e and do not rely on CCA conductors for mission-critical links where maximum conductivity and long-term reliability are required. For permanent installations, areas with high mechanical stress, or environments demanding maximum performance, consider cables with solid copper conductors and appropriate shielding.
