Lindy 48172 networking cable Blue 1 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy 48172 networking cable is a 1 metre Cat6 U/UTP patch lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) signalling, this blue cable delivers high-speed data transfer suitable for typical office and home network setups. The U/UTP construction reduces external interference and preserves signal integrity over short runs, while the standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable provides Gigabit-capable performance through Cat6 specification and 10/100/1000Base-T(X) compatibility. The U/UTP shielding minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbance for more stable links. At 1 m length the cable is convenient for patching in racks, connecting nearby devices or creating tidy desktop connections. The blue jacket offers colour-coded identification for organised cabling schemes.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within a cabinet or desktop setup
• Patch connections between wall outlets and network equipment
• Short-run Gigabit Ethernet links in office or home networks
• Colour-coded cable management and identification

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices, such as switch, router or network adapter. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or tightly coiling the cable; maintain gentle bends with radius larger than the cable diameter. Use the cable for short interconnections up to 1 m as part of a structured cabling or desktop patching arrangement.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this Cat6 U/UTP cable in environments where short, shielded runs are sufficient. Pair with compatible Cat6 or higher-rated equipment and avoid severe mechanical strain or exposure to moisture to maintain specification compliance.
