Lindy 47346 networking cable Grey 0.3 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 5m Grey networking cable provides a 5 meter connection designed for Gigabit Ethernet environments. It uses Cat6-grade twisted pair construction with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to maintain reliable signal transmission and reduce electromagnetic interference. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for office or home installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable high-speed data transfer up to Gigabit Ethernet. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resistance to corrosion. The 5 m length balances flexibility and reach for typical desktop, rack or patch panel connections while the Cat6 specification supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and devices
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to workstation cabling
• Home offices, corporate networks and small server rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a switch, router or network interface on a computer and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and proximity to power cables where possible to maintain optimal performance. For fixed installations, use cable management clips or ties to keep the cable organised.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for short to medium runs up to 5 m and avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference, and inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage to ensure consistent connectivity.
