Network Cable Lindy 40m RJ-45 Cat5e Grey

The Lindy 40m RJ-45 Cat5e grey patch cable is a twisted-pair U/UTP network cable designed for data transmission up to 100 MHz and for Ethernet applications up to 1GBase-T. The cable has RJ45 connectors on both ends, gold-plated contacts for corrosion-resistant connections and a PVC jacket. The integrated snagless connector protects the latch during installation and removal. This Cat5e cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and is supplied individually in a polybag.

Advantages

Gold-plated pins improve conductivity and reduce signal loss while providing long-term corrosion resistance. The snagless strain relief prevents damage to the connector latch during handling. The U/UTP design and Cat5e specification support Gigabit Ethernet performance within the 100 MHz operating frequency. The PVC jacket offers basic mechanical protection and a neutral grey appearance suitable for many installations.

How to use

Route the Lindy Cat5e cable between devices or patch points ensuring bends are gradual and the cable is not pinched. Insert RJ45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks; the snagless design reduces the risk of latch damage during insertion and removal. Verify link status on connected devices and test performance if required using standard network testing tools.

Recommendations

For best performance maintain separation from strong electrical noise sources and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Use the appropriate cable length to minimise excess slack and follow local cabling standards for permanent installations.
