Network Cable Lindy 2m Cat.5e RJ-45 U/UTP Grey

The Lindy 2m Cat.5e RJ-45 U/UTP Grey network cable is a 2-metre unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) Ethernet cable designed for operating frequencies up to 100 MHz and supporting Ethernet standards up to 1GBase-T. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 requirements and supplied individually in a polybag. The cable features gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and a snagless strain relief on the connector to protect the latch during installation and removal.

Advantages

This Cat.5e cable provides the electrical characteristics required for Gigabit Ethernet operation despite being unshielded, and is suitable for typical office and home network environments. Gold-plated contacts reduce the risk of corrosion and maintain reliable signal transmission over time. The snagless connector design protects the plug latch from bending or catching during installation, increasing durability and ease of use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network printers to a switch or router
• Wiring home and small office Ethernet networks
• Connecting network devices that require up to 1 Gbps data rates

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Bandwidth / frequency: up to 100 MHz
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801; supports 1GBase-T

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a router, switch or wall socket. Ensure connectors click securely into place and the snagless strain relief remains intact to avoid damaging the latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet distances and avoid parallel routing with high-voltage power cables. Replace the cable if connectors become bent or pins show visible damage.
