UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-150-BLUE — 15 m, Cat5e, PVC jacket, CCA conductor

UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-150-BLUE is a 15 m Cat5e Ethernet cable with a PVC outer jacket and CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductor. It is a non-shielded (UTP) patch lead with pre-terminated RJ45 connectors on both ends, designed for horizontal and patch panel connections in home and small office LANs. The cable supports Cat5e performance for typical Ethernet applications and is flexible enough for routing through cable channels and around furniture.

Advantages

The cable offers a balance of cost-efficiency and performance for standard 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps Ethernet links where Cat5e is appropriate. A flexible PVC sheath provides abrasion resistance and easy handling during installation, while pre-terminated ends speed up deployment without the need for on-site termination tools. The CCA conductor reduces material cost while maintaining electrical continuity suitable for short to medium length runs, and the UTP design avoids the need for shielded grounding in most residential and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in home and small office networks
• Wiring workstations, IP cameras and network printers within the 15 m range
• Temporary or semi-permanent patching in server rooms and equipment racks

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Category: Cat5e
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Shielding: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector type: RJ45, pre-terminated on both ends
• Typical applications: Ethernet 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T compliant environments

How to use

Route the cable between network devices avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks to preserve signal integrity. Insert the RJ45 plugs fully into device ports until a click is felt; ensure connectors are clean and undamaged before use. For best performance, keep the cable run within recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet and separate from high-voltage power cables to minimize interference. Secure the cable with suitable clips or cable ties without compressing the jacket or connector boots.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e UTP cable for standard local area network connections up to 15 m. For runs longer than 15 m, higher category cabling or active network devices (switches, repeaters) should be considered. Avoid installing the cable in environments with excessive mechanical stress, prolonged outdoor exposure, or where shielded cable is required to prevent electromagnetic interference.
