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

The Lindy 48408 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 3 m grey U/UTP patch cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. Built to Cat5e specifications, it supports reliable data transmission for typical office and home networking environments. Both ends terminate in RJ-45 connectors, providing plug-and-play compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and patch panels. The cable's U/UTP construction reduces external interference while maintaining flexibility for cable routing and installation.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with a 3 metre length that balances reach and signal integrity. U/UTP shielding helps minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference without adding bulk, and the grey PVC jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most installations. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility and straightforward connection. The cable's construction focuses on dependable electrical characteristics and practical handling for frequent use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to network switches or routers
• Patch panel links in office or data cabinet setups
• Home network connections for media streaming and internet access
• Temporary or permanent wiring in small office/home office environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent but twisted pair construction)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the 3 m cable to link devices such as a computer and a router, or to connect a switch to a patch panel. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables for extended distances to reduce interference. For structured installations, label both ends to identify connected ports.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable within its intended length and environment. Avoid excessive bending radii and mechanical strain on the connectors. When installing near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cable types or alternate routing to maintain signal quality.
