Lindy 47281 networking cable Blue 5 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47281 Blue 5m Cat7 S/FTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in professional and home environments. With Cat7 specification and S/FTP construction, the cable provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable connections for modern network equipment. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity and reduce contact resistance. The 5 m length and striking blue jacket make it suitable for visible routing in racks, offices, or structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) design combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to lower noise and preserve signal quality over the cable run. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve conductivity and contact reliability, reducing packet loss caused by poor connections. Cat7 grading and support for Gigabit Ethernet-class cabling technologies provide headroom for high-throughput applications, while the 5 m length offers flexibility for short to medium cable runs without excess slack. The blue jacket helps with quick identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, servers and switches within office racks
• Structured cabling in meeting rooms, data closets and wiring cabinets
• High-speed network links for VoIP, video streaming and file transfers
• Home networks requiring reduced interference and reliable throughput

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat7 S/FTP (overall shield + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Ensure network equipment is powered off or safe to connect before inserting the RJ-45 connectors. Align the connector clip with the port latch and insert fully until it clicks, confirming a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve shielding and pair geometry. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to prevent strain at connector ends and to keep the 5 m length tidy.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for links up to 5 m where reduced interference and consistent Gigabit throughput are required. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and replace the cable if physical damage or connector wear is visible. Periodically check connector seating and clean contacts with appropriate contact cleaner if needed.
