Lindy 45380 networking cable Blue 15 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 (A) SSTP RJ-45 S/FTP 15m Blue is a 15-metre network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10GBase-T. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (braid overall plus foil for each pair), is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801, and supports an operating frequency of up to 500 MHz. It is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts and features a snagless strain-relief design. The outer sheath is halogen-free (LSZH), reducing smoke and toxic halogen emissions for safer use in public and enclosed spaces.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer corrosion resistance for long-term reliable connections. The snagless connector design protects the latch during installation and removal, and the LSZH jacket minimises smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks (10GBase-T)
• High-density office or data centre cabling
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Public or enclosed spaces where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, PC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends and avoid placing it parallel to power cables to reduce interference. The snagless design protects the connector latch during insertion and removal; press the latch to disengage before unplugging.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP cable for links up to 15 m within structured cabling systems, keep bend radius greater than the manufacturer’s minimum (typically 4× cable diameter), and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures. Follow existing site cabling standards and grounding practices for shielded cables.
