Lindy 48408 networking cable Grey 3 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy 48407 networking cable is a 2 m grey Ethernet lead with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and Cat5e performance. Constructed as a U/UTP cable, it provides standard structured cabling performance for Ethernet networks while limiting external interference. The cable is intended for connecting computers, switches, routers and other networked devices in home and office environments where Cat5e-rated connectivity is sufficient.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward, industry-standard Cat5e connection with two RJ-45 connectors, supporting typical 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet links within the limits of Cat5e specifications. Its U/UTP construction helps reduce interference without additional overall shielding, and the 2 m length provides flexibility for near-desk or rack-to-equipment connections. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office racks
• Home network links between routers and access points
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 2 m Cat5e lead is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with unshielded overall)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device and the other connector into the target device, such as a switch, router or networked peripheral. Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and heavy compression. For optimal signal integrity, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

Use the cable for Cat5e-compatible network segments and ensure both endpoints support the intended network speed. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors become damaged, and avoid over-tight bundling to maintain cable performance.
