Lindy 47306 networking cable Black 0.5 m Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47306 Black 0.5m Cat7 S/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. It uses Cat7 specification with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and comes with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer. The compact 0.5 m length and black jacket make it suitable for tidy, short-distance connections in racks, workstations, or network devices.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to provide improved protection against noise and interference compared with unshielded or simple shielded cables. The Cat7 rating supports higher frequency bandwidths than earlier categories, helping to maintain signal integrity for gigabit Ethernet and compatible systems. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact for repeated insertions. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and minimizes signal loss in patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Desk or workstation cable management where a compact cable is needed
• Environments that require reduced electromagnetic interference
• Home or small office setups using gigabit Ethernet

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and keep the cable length appropriate to the connection path to reduce stress and potential interference.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat7 S/FTP cable for short, high-quality patching where shielding is required. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines; maintain gentle bend radii and do not subject the cable to crushing or sharp kinks to preserve shielding effectiveness and connector integrity.
