Lindy 48196 networking cable Black 7.5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy RJ-45/RJ-45 Cat6 7.5m Black networking cable is a 7.5 metre twisted-pair cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6 specifications with U/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and is intended for point-to-point connections between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in homes and offices.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable offers consistent high-speed data transmission and reduced crosstalk due to its construction and U/UTP shielding. The fixed 7.5 metre length simplifies planning for medium-range connections without excess slack. Standard RJ-45 terminations provide broad compatibility with network equipment, and the black outer jacket delivers a discreet appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between computers, switches and routers
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to network device cabling
• Home offices, small business networks and general LAN setups
• Gigabit network installations supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your source device (for example a router or switch) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination device (for example a PC or access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of electrical interference to maintain signal integrity. For wall or patch-panel installations, use appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 cable within its specified length and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables. If you require longer runs or outdoor installation, select an appropriately rated cable. Verify link speed settings on network devices to ensure gigabit operation where supported.
