Lindy 48164 networking cable Grey 3 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy RJ-45/RJ-45 Cat6 3m Grey networking cable is a 3 metre U/UTP Cat6 patch cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and support for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, this grey cable provides a straightforward wired link between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints where stable, low-latency network connectivity is required.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable offers consistent performance for gigabit networks over a 3 m distance while maintaining compatibility with Cat5e infrastructure. The U/UTP construction minimises interference in typical office and home environments without adding excess bulk. Molded RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and easy insertion and removal, and the neutral grey jacket integrates unobtrusively into most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers or printers to a wall socket or switch
• Linking switches, routers and patch panels in small networks
• Short-run connections in home or office workspaces
• Temporary setups for testing or configuration tasks

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid omitted)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, kinking or running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. If used in a patch panel, route the cable neatly and allow some slack to reduce strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 cable for short to medium runs where gigabit speeds are required. For installations that require additional protection against electromagnetic interference or outdoor use, consider using shielded or specially rated cables appropriate to the environment.
