Patch cable Cat5E UTP 1 m, LYNX CS — yellow

LYNX CS Cat5E UTP patch cable, 1 m length in yellow, is a standard unshielded twisted pair jumper cable designed for Ethernet networks requiring Cat5E performance. This 1 metre cable provides a compact, flexible connection for switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices in home, office or data cabinet environments. The yellow jacket improves cable identification and neatness in patching and rack installations while maintaining the electrical characteristics required for 100BASE-TX and typical Gigabit LAN wiring distances within short runs.

Advantages

The LYNX CS Cat5E UTP 1 m patch cable offers reliable signal transmission for Cat5E networks with flexible PVC jacketing that simplifies routing in tight spaces. Its unshielded twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk across pairs for consistent Ethernet performance on short links. The 1 metre length limits excess cable slack, which helps maintain tidy patch panels and minimizes cable management work. The bright yellow colour enables quick visual identification of specific circuits or network segments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in racks and cabinets
• Linking routers, modems and network devices in office or home setups
• Short patch runs between wall outlets and local equipment
• Organized cable management in data closets and telecom enclosures

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5E performance for Ethernet networks
• Conductor type: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends (8P8C)
• Jacket colour: yellow for visual identification
• Typical application: 100BASE-TX and short-distance Gigabit LAN patching

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device port and the other into the corresponding switch, patch panel or wall outlet until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the 1 m length to create a neat, short patch between rack-mounted equipment or to connect devices on a desk without excess cabling. Avoid sharp bends and do not route the cable near high-power electrical lines to prevent interference. If a more permanent installation is required, secure the cable along cable trays or with cable ties at intervals that do not compress the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Choose this cable when you need a short, identifiable Cat5E connection for patching or device linking. For Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances or installations requiring additional protection from electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category or shielded cables.
