Lindy 47246 networking cable Grey 5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 47246 Grey 5m Cat6 U/FTP (STP) networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point network connections. It conforms to Cat6 performance for gigabit Ethernet and uses U/FTP (individually shielded pairs with an overall foil) to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated with gold to support consistent signal transmission and improved contact durability. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home installations.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6 specification supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, enabling high-speed data transfer for typical gigabit applications. U/FTP (STP) shielding helps minimise crosstalk and external interference, which is beneficial in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer reliable contact resistance and corrosion protection, while the 5 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and devices
• Structured cabling in small offices and home networks
• Connections in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6, U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall foil)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported network standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your network devices until the latch clicks. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For best performance, use the cable within its rated length for gigabit links and connect to ports or switches that support 10/100/1000Base-T(X).

Recommendations

For reliable shield performance, terminate the cable into properly grounded network equipment or patch panels. If connecting in a patch panel or keystone jack, follow the device manufacturer's guidelines for shield termination and maintain bend radius recommendations to preserve signal integrity.
