Lindy 47841 networking cable Grey 7.5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 7.5m Grey networking cable provides a 7.5 metre connection designed for structured cabling and device interconnection. Built to Cat6 performance levels with S/FTP (shielded foil/overall braided shielding) construction, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining stable gigabit and multi-gigabit data transfer over short to medium runs. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 plugs for compatibility with switches, routers, PCs and networked equipment. The neutral grey jacket helps the cable blend into office and home environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding design improves signal integrity by combining individually shielded pairs with an overall screen, which helps protect against external noise sources in crowded cable environments. Cat.6 specification support allows reliable high-speed Ethernet throughput and reduced near-end crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. A 7.5 m length covers typical desk-to-switch and rack-to-desk distances without excess slack, and the RJ-45 terminations provide broad compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and IP phones to a local network switch or router
• Short- to medium-length Ethernet runs in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial
• Gigabit Ethernet and applications requiring stable wired data transfer

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braided shield)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it along cable management paths or under desks as required, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the network ports of devices and network equipment until the latch clicks. For installations near other electrical cables or equipment, orient the cable to maintain separation from potential interference sources. Test the link speed and connectivity using device network indicators or a network tester after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep it away from high-voltage power lines. Use shielded ports or ensure proper grounding when deploying in environments with significant electromagnetic interference to fully utilise the benefits of the S/FTP design.
