Lindy 47240 networking cable Grey 0.3 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 47240 Networking Cable is a 0.3 m Cat6 patch cable designed for short connections in network environments. It uses Cat6 specification wiring and U/FTP (STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends feature gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and the cable is finished in a neutral grey colour. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet links for Gigabit LAN use in homes, offices, server racks, and equipment cabinets.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) shielding adds protection against external noise and improves signal integrity on short runs. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts maintain reliable electrical contact and resist corrosion. The 0.3 m length provides a compact solution for connecting adjacent devices or patching within racks without excess cable slack. Cat6 construction ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatibility with lower-speed standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server racks
• Linking desktop PCs to wall outlets or nearby network ports
• Short interconnects between network devices in office workstations
• Patch connections in AV cabinets and network closets

How to use

Inspect both RJ-45 connectors and the cable for visible damage before installation. Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the second device until the latch engages. Use the 0.3 m length for direct, short-distance links where minimal slack is required. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain gentle curves to preserve cable performance. When routing near power cables or high-interference equipment, keep separation where possible to further reduce potential noise.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Lindy 47240 in short internal connections such as patch panels, switch-to-switch links inside racks, or desktop-to-wall jack links. Do not exceed the cable's intended use for longer backbone runs; select longer Cat6 or higher-specification cables for extended distances. Periodically check connectors for secure seating and replace the cable if pins or shielding show signs of wear.
