Lindy 47854 networking cable Grey 5 m Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy RJ-45 Cat6 S/FTP 5 m Grey is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable gigabit network connections in home and office environments. With a 5 metre length and S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain stable high-speed data transfer. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 connectors, providing broad compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into structured cabling or visible setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP design combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shielding around each twisted pair, improving protection against external noise sources and minimizing internal pair-to-pair interference. Cat6 specification supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network speeds, making the cable suitable for gigabit Ethernet applications. The 5 m length gives flexibility for placement of devices without excess slack, and the RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play connectivity with standard Ethernet ports. The cable jacket is colour-coded grey for discrete routing and easier identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Wired connections for streaming, online gaming and video conferencing
• Office and home network cabling requiring reduced interference
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups where a 5 m length is appropriate

How to use

Uncoil the Lindy Cat6 S/FTP cable and route it between devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of the devices to be linked until an audible click confirms engagement. For wall- or patch-panel installations, ensure connectors are fully seated and strain relief is applied where necessary to prevent cable damage. Verify link lights on network hardware to confirm a successful connection and check network settings on connected devices if auto-negotiation does not establish the expected speed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large motors. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector ends and allow some slack to reduce stress. Use S/FTP Cat6 cables for environments with potential interference from other electronic equipment to preserve gigabit throughput.
