Lindy 48406 networking cable Grey 1 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy 48406 networking cable is a 1 m Cat5e U/UTP cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for standard Ethernet connections, this grey patch cable supports reliable wired data transmission for home and office networks. The U/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for easy cable routing in patch panels, wall sockets, or between devices.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides stable performance for common network speeds and short-distance connections. Its RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation without additional tools. The 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter in desktop and rack environments, and the neutral grey colour blends with most workplace or home setups. U/UTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity in areas with moderate electromagnetic noise.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within a local area network (LAN)
• Patch panel to switch or wall socket to device links
• Home office and small business wired Ethernet setups
• Temporary cabling for meetings, testing or equipment replacement

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Cable construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid/foil as applicable)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices you want to link, ensuring the plug clicks into place. For best results, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain a gentle bend radius when routing the cable. When connecting patch panels, switches or wall sockets, align the connector orientation and apply steady pressure until the latch engages. There is no special configuration required at the cable level; network settings are managed by the connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e cable for short runs between desktop equipment and nearby network ports. Keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines and heavy machinery to reduce potential interference. For longer distances or higher network speeds, consider higher category cables such as Cat6 or Cat6a.
