Lindy 47293 networking cable Red 1.5 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47293 RJ-45 Cat7 networking cable is a 1.5 m S/FTP cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. Compliant with Cat7 wiring standards and fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this red cable provides reliable connectivity for wired networks that require reduced electromagnetic interference and stable data transfer rates. Its 1.5 meter length is suitable for connecting devices within racks, between wall ports and nearby equipment, or for tidy desktop cabling where a short, visible lead is preferred.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and protects against external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for gigabit and lower-speed Ethernet applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance, helping maintain a stable connection over repeated insertions. The Cat7 specification supports improved cable performance compared with earlier categories, and the red jacket makes the cable easy to identify in multi-cable installations or colour-coded networks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within home or small office networks
• Patch cabling in network cabinets and wall-mounted outlets
• Areas where reduced interference and better shielding are required
• Colour-coded installations or visible desktop connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductor usage: suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks
• Outer jacket colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices you want to link, ensuring the latch clicks into place. For wall or patch panel connections, route the cable to avoid tight bends (maintain bend radius as per standard practice) and secure it with cable ties or organisers to prevent strain on the connectors. The cable is ready to use without additional tools; if trimming or re-terminating is required, follow standard RJ-45 termination procedures and verify continuity and pair mapping after termination.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended lengths and keep bends gentle. Use the red colour for quick identification in structured cabling setups and replace the cable if connector damage or jacket wear is observed.
