Lindy 0.5m Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH Network Cable, Grey

Network Cable Lindy 0.5m RJ-45 Cat6a Grey is a Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH patch cable designed for short Ethernet connections. It supports bandwidths up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10GBase-T networks. The cable features braid overall shielding with foil shielding for each wire pair (S/FTP) and is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801. The grey halogen-free (LSZH) jacket reduces smoke and eliminates toxic halogen emissions, making the cable appropriate for use in public areas. Connectors are RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts and the cable is supplied individually in a polybag.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction and high shielding provide improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable performance for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Gold-plated contacts offer corrosion resistance and reliable long-term connections. The snagless strain relief protects the connector latch during installation and removal, and the LSZH jacket lowers smoke emission and halogen release in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Short in-rack and patch panel connections (0.5 m)
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10GBase-T
• Environments requiring low smoke and halogen-free cabling (public spaces)
• Shielded installations needing reduced EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.6A S/FTP (braid overall shield + foil per pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Bandwidth / frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Standards: supports 10GBase-T, manufactured/tested to ISO/IEC 11801
• Jacket: LSZH (halogen-free), colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device and the other to the switch, patch panel, or NIC port. Ensure the connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension. The snagless strain relief reduces the risk of latch damage when plugging and unplugging in confined patching environments.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP cable for short patching runs within racks or between nearby equipment where 10G performance and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures or mechanical stress beyond typical installation conditions; follow standard cabling best practices for bend radius and securing to maintain performance.
