Lindy 48175 networking cable Blue 5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy RJ-45/RJ-45 Cat6 5m Blue networking cable is a 5-metre U/UTP cable designed for reliable copper Ethernet connections in home and office networks. Equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology, this blue Cat6 cable provides consistent throughput for Gigabit Ethernet links and short-distance data runs between switches, routers, PCs and other networked equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable uses U/UTP shielding construction to reduce interference while remaining flexible for common routing scenarios. The RJ-45 terminations are compatible with standard Ethernet ports, making installation straightforward without special tools for connector compatibility. The 5 m length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management for desk-to-wall or equipment-to-switch connections, and the visible blue jacket helps with easy identification and structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers
• Linking network switches within a rack or across short office distances
• Cabling for home entertainment systems, media players and smart TVs
• Temporary or permanent office desk installations where 5 m reach is sufficient

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling standard: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your device and the other RJ-45 plug to the target switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, excessive tension or running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. If cable routing requires bundling, use cable ties with moderate tension to prevent deformation of the jacket or internal pairs.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 cable for indoor network connections up to 5 metres. For environments with strong electromagnetic interference or where shielded cabling is required, consider using shielded cable types. Label both ends if deploying multiple cables to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
