Lindy 47366 networking cable Red 3 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 5m Red networking cable is a 5-metre Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. It conforms to the Cat6 standard and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The cable's red jacket provides visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to limit crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity for gigabit Ethernet connections. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs ensure low-resistance connections and long-term contact reliability. The 5 m length gives flexibility for typical desk-to-router or patch-panel runs while the Cat6 rating supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within office or home networks
• Patch panel to wall port or desktop device connections
• Environments where visual cable identification is useful (red jacket)
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)) installations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (for example a PC, switch or router) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the opposite device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties to prevent stress on the connectors. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for long distances.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for gigabit network links up to the specified length and within typical office/home environments. Inspect connectors before installation and avoid exceeding bend radius or subjecting the cable to heavy mechanical strain. For installations requiring longer runs or higher frequency bandwidths, consult cable standards and choose appropriate cable categories.
