Lindy 47624 networking cable Black 1 m Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy 47624 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 1 m black patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with Cat6a performance and supporting 10GBase-T cabling technology, it provides reliable throughput for demanding network environments. The cable uses U/UTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for stable contact and corrosion resistance. Its compact length and neutral black finish make it suitable for tidy installations in both home and office settings.

Advantages

The Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gbps data rates at appropriate distances, while the U/UTP construction improves signal integrity by minimising external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver consistent electrical contact and durability over repeated insertions. The 1 m length reduces excess cable slack in patch panels, workstations, or network switches, and the black jacket offers a discreet appearance that blends with most equipment racks and desktops.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, laptops or servers to a network switch or router
• Patch panel and cabinet patching in office racks
• High-speed data transfers between NAS devices and workstations
• Short-distance links requiring Cat6a performance and reduced interference

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall drain/foil)
• Contact finish: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, computers or networked storage. Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends near the connector ends and route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use cable management accessories to keep runs short and organized, and verify link status lights on connected devices to confirm successful negotiation at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

For consistent 10GBase-T performance, use the cable for links within typical Class EA/Cat6a distance guidelines and combine it with compatible Cat6a-rated patch panels and keystones. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimise potential interference.
