Lindy 47164 networking cable Red 2 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47164 RJ-45 Cat6 2m Red networking cable is a 2-metre Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in homes, offices and data centres. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it delivers improved protection against electromagnetic interference and stable signal transmission. The red jacket provides clear visual identification within cable runs and rack environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, helping to maintain signal integrity in congested cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance for long-term mechanical and electrical reliability. The 2 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment without excess cable clutter, while the Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet performance suitable for common networking tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in office or home networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in server rooms and small data closets
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where clear identification is required
• Gigabit Ethernet applications and multimedia streaming within a local network

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure both ends are securely seated on the network interface cards, switches or routers before powering devices on. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce stress on the connectors; maintain the natural bend radius and avoid kinking. For installations in racks or cable trays, use appropriate cable management to separate power and data cabling and preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within the recommended maximum length for copper Ethernet links and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for extended distances. Use the red jacket as a visual indicator to distinguish specific network segments or device groups. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the shielding or connector integrity is compromised.
