UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-200-RED 20 m CCA CAT5e

UTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-UTP5E-200-RED is a 20-meter CAT5e Ethernet cable with CCA conductors and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction. It is intended for general data-networking use and provides a visible, colour-coded connection for linking switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The 20 m length supports flexible placement of equipment in homes, offices and small-business environments where a longer run is required.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5e performance for typical Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks with a flexible jacket that eases routing along walls and through cable channels. The red-coloured outer sheath improves cable identification in multi-cable installations and helps maintain organised network runs. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective alternative to pure copper for non-mission-critical links while the UTP design keeps the cable lightweight and simple to handle.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within racks and network closets
• Wiring desktop workstations, printers and IP devices in offices
• Home networking runs where longer cable length and colour coding are useful
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations for events, testing or configuration

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e suitable for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
• Length: 20 m
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminium)
• Pair configuration: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Jacket colour: Red for visual routing and identification
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminations (8P8C) on both ends

How to use

Route the cable from one network device to another, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert the RJ45 connector firmly into the device port until it clicks to ensure proper contact. When running the cable across shared spaces or through cable trays, secure it with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the jacket. For patch panels and structured cabling, label each end to match ports and maintain traceability.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT5e UTP cable for standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet links and short Gigabit connections where CCA conductors meet the required performance. Avoid using CCA-based cabling for long runs or critical backbone links where full copper conductors are recommended. For best signal reliability, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and replace if physical damage is observed.
