Lindy 2m Cat.6 U/UTP Network Cable, Red

The Lindy 2m Cat.6 U/UTP Red network cable is a 2-metre Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission. It is an unshielded (U/UTP) Cat.6 cable rated for operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 standards. The cable is supplied with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, gold-plated contacts, a snagless strain relief design and comes individually packaged in a polybag.

Advantages

The Cat.6 design supports bandwidths up to 250 MHz and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) due to optimized electrophysical parameters despite being unshielded. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and long-term reliable connections. The snagless connector design protects the latch during installation and removal, reducing the risk of connector damage.

Suitable for

• Home and office wired networks
• Gigabit Ethernet connections (up to 1GBase-T)
• Streaming and online gaming
• Connecting routers, switches, PCs and networked devices

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Category: Cat.6 U/UTP
• Frequency support: up to 250 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Contacts: gold-plated

• Standards: manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch, PC) and the other into the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the snagless strain relief helps protect the connector latch during regular insertion and removal.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for long distances and keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines. Use this cable for Gigabit Ethernet links up to typical home or office runs (several meters); for longer or electrically noisy environments consider shielded or higher-category cabling.
