Lindy 47247 networking cable Grey 7.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 47247 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 7.5 meter grey patch cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections. Constructed to support 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, this Cat6 cable uses U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over its length. Both ends terminate in gold‑plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent contact and corrosion resistance, making the cable suitable for desktop, rack and patch panel connections in home and office environments.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet speeds and provides performance headroom for typical LAN applications. U/FTP (unshielded overall with individually foil-shielded pairs) construction helps minimise crosstalk and external interference, improving data stability in electrically noisy environments. Gold plating on the RJ-45 plugs ensures stable conductivity and durable contacts. The 7.5 m length offers flexible placement options without excessive slack, and the neutral grey colour integrates unobtrusively into most installations.

Suitable for

• Wiring desktop PCs and workstations to network switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office network racks
• Connecting networked printers, VoIP phones and media devices
• Short to mid-length runs in home network setups

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device (PC, switch, router, printer or other Ethernet-enabled hardware) and the other end to the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance. For rack installations, use cable management features such as ties and trays to maintain neat runs and reduce mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For sustained performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or large electrical equipment. Use the 7.5 m length for mid-range connections; if longer or permanent in-wall runs are required, select an appropriate in-wall rated cable and follow local installation standards. Periodically inspect connector contacts for dirt or damage and replace the cable if any degradation in throughput or connectivity is observed.
