Lindy 47786 networking cable Black 30 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy RJ-45 Cat.6 S/FTP 30m Black networking cable provides a 30 metre connection designed for reliable data transfer in structured cabling environments. Constructed to Cat.6 standard and equipped with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference to support consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet and related network protocols. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a stable contact interface and improved conductivity for long-term use in home or office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around each pair and an overall foil shield improves resistance to external noise sources and near-end crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity over the full 30 m length. The Cat.6 specification supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and helps deliver higher bandwidth and lower attenuation than lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs offer corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact, while the black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for visible runs and patching applications.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and small office networks
• Patch panels and wall outlets within structured cabling systems
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and desktop computers
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (near power lines, dense cabling)

Key specifications

• Cable length: 30 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall shield)
• Supported protocols: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Product colour: Black
• Contact plating: Gold-plated connectors

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring minimal sharp bends and avoiding tight loops to maintain signal quality. Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the appropriate port on switches, routers, patch panels or endpoints until the latch clicks. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management (ties, clips or trunking) while keeping the shielding continuity intact at connection points. Test the link with a network tester or by verifying link speed on connected devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines for extended distances and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. When connecting to shields or panels, ensure proper termination to preserve S/FTP effectiveness. Use this Cat.6 S/FTP cable where Gigabit speeds and reduced interference are required; for higher frequency or 10G applications, consider higher-category alternatives.
