Lindy 47295 networking cable Red 3 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47295 RJ-45 Cat7 networking cable is a 3 m patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat7 specifications with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this red cable provides stable data transfer and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. It is suitable for structured cabling, local area networks and direct device-to-device connections where reliable performance and clear identification by colour are required.

Advantages

Built to Cat7 standards, the cable supports high-frequency signal transmission and reduces crosstalk between pairs. S/FTP shielding offers both overall braid shielding and individual foil shields around each twisted pair for enhanced immunity to external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. The 3 m length provides flexibility for typical desktop and rack connections while the red jacket simplifies cable management and visual identification in patch panels and bundles.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed network segments in offices and homes
• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels in wiring closets
• Workstation or desktop connections where a 3 m cable length is appropriate
• Environments requiring improved shielding against electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7 (Class F)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Supported cabling technologies: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of your network device (switch, router, computer or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radius recommended for structured cabling to preserve signal integrity. If used in rack installations, label or secure the cable in cable management elements for clear identification.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near high-power electrical equipment. Use the red colour to mark specific circuits or priority links within a structured cabling system. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage to maintain reliable network performance.
