Lindy 47299 networking cable Red 15 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47299 RJ-45 Cat7 networking cable in red is a 15 m patch cable designed for high-speed wired networks. Compliant with Cat7 performance, the cable supports shielded twisted pair topology with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. It is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends for reliable contact and improved corrosion resistance, making it suitable for structured cabling, switches, routers and wall outlets where a durable, high-performance connection is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around each pair plus an overall foil shield provides enhanced protection against noise and EMI in electrically noisy environments. The Cat7 specification supports higher frequency transmission than earlier categories, enabling stable Gigabit Ethernet performance and future-proofing for higher bandwidth applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact conductivity and mechanical durability. The red jacket helps with quick visual identification in cable runs and rack installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and networked devices
• Structured cabling and patch panels in data cabinets
• Office or home network installations requiring shielded cabling
• Environments with significant electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs and overall foil)
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Position the cable so that the RJ-45 connectors align with the network ports on your devices. Insert each connector until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and undue tension; maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For patch panel or wall outlet installation, terminate the cable ends only if you have appropriate tooling and follow the termination standard used in your network (T568A or T568B).

Recommendations

Use this Cat7 S/FTP cable in setups that require shielded, high-frequency cabling. For maximum performance, pair with compatible shielded ports and maintain correct grounding of network equipment and cable shields. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised.
