Ethernet patch cable LYNX CS Cat5e 15 m red LX-UTP5E-150-RED

LYNX CS Cat5e UTP patch cable, 15 m length in red, designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office networks. The cable supports Cat5e performance for data rates up to 100 Mbps over twisted-pair copper and is intended for connecting routers, switches, PCs, patch panels and other network devices. Flexible outer jacket and molded RJ45 plugs allow easy routing and secure mating in network ports while maintaining signal integrity across the 15 metre span.

Advantages

The unshielded twisted-pair design reduces crosstalk and provides stable performance for typical Ethernet and Fast Ethernet applications. A flexible jacket simplifies installation in cable trays, behind furniture or inside equipment racks. Molded connectors with strain relief protect contact points and minimize wear during frequent plugging cycles. The red jacket helps with visual identification and cable management in structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers and switches in home or small office networks
• Patch panels and structured cabling within data cabinets
• Temporary network setups for events or testing
• Upgrading existing Cat5 installations or extending network runs up to 15 metres

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 15 m
• Conductor: copper, multi-stranded for flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded with strain relief
• Jacket color: red
• Suitable for: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T Ethernet applications
• Typical use: horizontal cabling, patching and device interconnects

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a bend radius roughly four times the cable diameter. Keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines and large electrical motors to reduce interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable ties or fasteners without compressing the jacket or conductors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its intended 15 m length and in environments that do not exceed typical indoor temperature and humidity ranges. Use the red color to separate network segments visually, label both ends if used in patch panels, and test connections after installation with a network tester to confirm continuity and pair integrity.
