Lindy 47830 networking cable Purple 20 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 20m Violet networking cable is a 20-metre copper Ethernet cable designed for Gigabit networks. It uses S/FTP shielding (shielded foil around each pair plus an overall braided shield) to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference and maintain signal integrity over longer runs. Both ends terminate in gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and reduced corrosion, and the violet jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6 S/FTP cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking speeds and is built to minimize crosstalk and external interference thanks to pair foil shielding and an overall screen. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure consistent electrical contact and long-term resistance to oxidation. The 20 m length suits installations where equipment is placed at a moderate distance, and the coloured jacket helps with cable management and quick identification in rack or home environments.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for desktop PCs and workstations
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in small office or home networks
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference is required
• Audio/video streaming and low-latency gaming over wired networks

How to use

Route the Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP cable between devices, avoiding sharp bends and tight loops to preserve cable performance. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into the network ports until they click; verify link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm successful connection. For runs near heavy electrical equipment or mains cabling, maintain separation or use cable trays to minimize residual interference despite the cable's shielding. When installing in racks or conduits, allow service loops and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable for permanent or semi-permanent wired installations where Gigabit performance and reduced interference are important. Avoid excessive bending radii and pulling forces during installation. For in-wall or plenum installations, verify local building codes and choose cables rated for the specific environment if required.
