Lindy 47290 networking cable Red 0.3 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47290 Red 0.3m Cat7 S/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. It features Category 7 wiring with S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable signal transfer and resist corrosion. The 0.3 m length is suitable for tidy connections between nearby devices, while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in crowded cable runs.

Advantages

This Cat7 cable combines S/FTP shielding and high-quality RJ-45 terminations to offer improved noise immunity and consistent throughput across supported Ethernet standards. Gold-plated contacts enhance long-term contact reliability and reduce oxidation. The short 0.3 m form factor minimizes cable slack and improves airflow in rack or desktop environments. The red outer jacket aids cable management by making the connection easy to trace among multiple cables.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and servers in rack or cabinet setups
• Connecting network interface cards (NICs) to nearby devices
• Short runs in desktop, home office, or multimedia setups
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to limit interference

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated on both ends and that the cable is not bent sharply near the terminations. For best performance, avoid routing the cable parallel and close to power cables or sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the 0.3 m length for close-proximity device connections to keep installations compact and organized.

Recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, connect both ends to shielded ports or equipment with proper grounding. Inspect connectors periodically for debris or wear and replace the cable if contacts appear corroded or the jacket is damaged. Use the red cable to mark critical links or to differentiate network segments within patch panels and racks.
