Lindy 5m Cat.6 U/UTP Network Cable, Red

Network Cable Lindy 5m Cat.6 U/UTP Red is a 5-metre Cat6 patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for data transmission at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The unshielded (U/UTP) construction supports operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801. The cable is supplied individually in a polybag and features gold-plated contacts and a snagless connector design.

Advantages

The Cat.6 design ensures performance up to 250 MHz, enabling reliable Gigabit (10/100/1000Base-T) connections. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transfer over time. The snagless strain relief protects the connector latch during installation and removal, reducing the risk of physical damage. Individual polybag packaging keeps the cable protected until use.

Suitable for

• Wired home and office networks
• Gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Connecting routers, switches, PCs and networked devices
• Patch panels and structured cabling within buildings

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (for example a router, switch or computer) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the snagless design helps protect the latch when pulling the cable through conduits or around corners.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines. Use this Cat.6 U/UTP cable for indoor structured cabling and short to medium runs where shielding is not required for EMI protection.
