Lindy 5m Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH Network Cable, Grey

The Lindy 5m Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH Grey network cable is a 5‑metre Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed data transmission up to 10 GBase‑T and an operating frequency of up to 500 MHz. Constructed to ISO/IEC 11801 standards, the cable features overall braid shielding and foil shielding for each pair (S/FTP), gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts and an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath. The product is individually packaged in a polybag and is intended for use in professional and public environments where low smoke and halogen‑free behaviour is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more reliable high‑speed connections. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transfer. The snagless strain relief design protects the connector latch during installation and removal. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and eliminates halogen gases in case of fire, improving safety in public or enclosed spaces. Cable construction and testing compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.

Suitable for

• 10GBase‑T and Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Server rooms, data centres and office network installations
• Environments requiring low smoke and halogen‑free cabling (public buildings, schools)
• Shielded installations where reduced interference is necessary

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.6A S/FTP (braid overall, foil per pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Operating frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Supported standards: up to 10GBase‑T; ISO/IEC 11801
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to your network device (switch, router, PC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations, verify cable length and bend radius follow installation standards to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For optimal 10GBase‑T performance, use within the specified 5 m length and avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines. In shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of cable shields at designated points to maximise EMI protection.
