Lindy 47165 networking cable Red 3 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47165 RJ-45 Cat6 3m Red networking cable is a 3 metre Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections up to 1000 Mbit/s. It uses Cat6 cabling standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to support 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks while minimising interference. The cable's red jacket helps with easy identification in structured cabling installations and makes it simple to trace connections in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides stable gigabit performance for wired networks and is built with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The 3 m length is suitable for desktop, rack and equipment-to-equipment connections where a short, reliable link is required. The red colour facilitates visual organisation of cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within offices or home networks
• Patch panel to switch or switch to server links in data cabinets
• Cabling runs requiring S/FTP shielding to limit interference
• Environments where cable colour-coding improves organisation

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded with individually foiled pairs and overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Product colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device (PC, switch, router or networked equipment) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and strain on connectors; maintain gentle curves and use cable management where available. For best network performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines over long distances.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, use the Lindy 47165 Cat6 cable for short to medium connections within racks and workstations. When installing in high-interference environments, keep the S/FTP shielding intact and avoid kinking the cable. Colour-code cables by function or VLAN to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
