Lindy 47839 networking cable Grey 3 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Rj45/Rj45 Cat6 3m networking cable is a 3-metre, S/FTP-shielded Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed to meet Cat6 performance standards, it supports Gigabit Ethernet over 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and provides a reliable physical link for data transfer between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office, home or data centre installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference and limits crosstalk between pairs, improving signal integrity for high-speed transmissions. The Cat6 specification ensures bandwidth and performance consistent with Gigabit networks, and the RJ-45 terminations provide broad compatibility with standard network equipment. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management, making routing simpler while avoiding excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within offices or homes
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment
• Short links in server racks and network cabinets
• Gigabit Ethernet and other 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall and individually foiled pairs)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Determine the required 3 m routing between the two network devices and avoid sharp bends or tight kinks when laying the cable. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until it clicks. When connecting to racks or patch panels, ensure connectors are fully seated and strain is relieved at the plug. For best results, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use the Lindy Cat6 cable for links up to 3 metres in structured cabling runs and maintain proper bend radius and connector seating. Avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables to minimise interference, and inspect connectors periodically for damage or contamination.
