Lindy 47376 networking cable Black 5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 5m Black is a 5-metre Category 6 network cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections. It features S/FTP shielding construction and RJ-45 terminations with gold-plated contacts to support stable high-speed data transfer in home and office environments. The cable is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications and is supplied in a black jacket that fits standard installation aesthetics.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil with individually shielded pairs) reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference for consistent signal integrity across the cable length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and maintain low contact resistance for dependable connections. The Cat6 spec and 10/100/1000Base-T(X) compatibility allow support for Gigabit networks and backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet and legacy devices. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desk, rack and short-run office connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and network switches within offices or home setups
• Linking network equipment in server racks or patch panels over short distances
• High-speed data transfer tasks such as file sharing, streaming and VoIP
• Temporary or permanent cabling where moderate flexibility and robust shielding are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) compatible
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)

• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (PC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy compression or proximity to strong electrical noise sources to maintain performance. For patch panel use, label both ends if needed to simplify future cable management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended lengths for Cat6 installations and avoid bundling this S/FTP cable with high-voltage cables. Use compatible Gigabit-capable network equipment and periodically inspect connectors for dirt or wear; clean contacts if necessary with appropriate contact-cleaning tools.
