Lindy 47200 networking cable White 20 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47200 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable in white provides a 20 m connection designed for Gigabit Ethernet and typical office or home networks. The cable supports Cat6 performance and 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, enabling data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it aims to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure a stable physical link between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoint devices across a medium-length run.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding over individual pairs and overall braid improves resistance to crosstalk and external noise, which helps maintain signal integrity over the full 20 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The Cat6 specification supports higher frequency operation than Cat5e, offering better margin for Gigabit Ethernet throughput. The white jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for visible installations in offices, meeting rooms and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and IP phones to switches and routers
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in offices or homes
• Medium-length Gigabit Ethernet links in wiring closets and small server rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White

How to use

Route the cable from the network device to the destination, avoiding tight bends and running it parallel to mains power cables where possible to reduce interference. Insert the RJ-45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks. Verify link activity and speed on each device; most switches and network adapters will auto-negotiate to Gigabit speeds when supported. If terminating into patch panels or keystone jacks, ensure correct pair alignment and use appropriate termination tools and testing equipment to confirm continuity and performance.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths, avoid sharp bends and heavy compression, and test end-to-end connectivity after installation. Use separate routing or conduit if running alongside high-voltage power lines to minimise residual interference.
