Lindy 47176 networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47176 Black 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a short, high-performance Ethernet lead engineered for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. At 0.5 m length it connects devices in tight installations such as patch panels, switches and desktop equipment while supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable uses Cat6 pair geometry and S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for commercial and home environments.

Advantages

The cable provides Gigabit-capable throughput and consistent signal integrity thanks to Cat6 specifications and full S/FTP shielding. Its short 0.5 m length minimises excess cabling in patching scenarios and improves cable management. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance connectivity durability and reduce contact resistance. The black outer jacket is flexible and suited to visible or concealed routing without altering room aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Connecting network ports between switches and patch panels in server rooms or wiring closets
• Short links from desktops or workstations to wall outlets or unmanaged switches
• Equipment racks where minimal cable slack is required for neat installation
• VoIP phones, IP cameras or other networked devices requiring Gigabit ethernet

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable jacket for visible damage before installation. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks, ensuring correct orientation. Use the 0.5 m length to create short, direct connections between adjacent devices such as switch ports and patch panel ports or from a workstation to a nearby wall jack. Avoid kinking or sharp bends; maintain bend radius consistent with Cat6 requirements. For rack installations, route the cable along cable management channels to keep ports accessible and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

The Lindy 47176 is intended for short link applications where Gigabit performance and reduced interference are required. For longer runs, select appropriately rated Cat6 or higher cables of suitable length. When installing in electrically noisy environments, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to maximize the benefit of S/FTP shielding.
