Lindy 47198 networking cable White 10 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47198 networking cable is a 10 m Cat6 patch lead designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over its full length. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet and data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is finished in white for discreet installation in ceilings, walls, or along skirting boards.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to sustain stable throughput for demanding applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and reduce the risk of corrosion over time. The Cat6 specification and support for Gigabit Ethernet ensure compatibility with modern switches, routers and network interface cards. A 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across medium-sized rooms without additional extensions.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, network printers and NAS devices to a router or switch
• Structured cabling runs within offices, meeting rooms and server closets
• Home entertainment systems and smart TV network connections
• Temporary setups for events or testing network equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Maximum practical data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered off or that the network ports support hot-plugging. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other into the target device (PC, NAS, or smart TV). Verify the link LED indicators on connected devices to confirm a physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, kinks or prolonged compression of the cable and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Lindy Cat6 S/FTP cable for reliable Gigabit connections in environments where reduced interference and stable throughput are required. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local electrical and building codes and consider using cable conduits or certified in-wall rated alternatives. When connecting over longer distances or for multi-gigabit performance, consider higher category cabling and confirm that connected hardware supports the desired speeds.
