Lindy 47826 networking cable Purple 5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy RJ-45 Cat.6 S/FTP 5m Violet networking cable is a 5 metre ethernet cable designed for reliable Gigabit connections in home and office networks. Constructed with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) structure and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable minimises electromagnetic interference and maintains stable data transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. Its violet jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable installations while preserving flexible handling during routing and installation.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting consistent performance in environments with multiple signal sources. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term connector reliability. A Cat.6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and improved frequency response compared with earlier categories. The 5 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management in desktop, rack or room-to-room runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in server cabinets or racks
• Workstation cabling where clear colour identification is needed
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet links up to 5 metres

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) (Cat.6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on pairs)
• Colour: Violet

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power cables. For patch panel installation, push the connector fully into the panel or switch port and verify link activity on network devices. When removing the cable, depress the latch before pulling to avoid damaging the plug.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under the maximum recommended length for horizontal cabling when integrating into structured cabling systems, avoid sharp bends and kinks, and label both ends if used in dense installations. Use the violet colour to separate traffic types or identify cable groups during maintenance and troubleshooting.
