Networking Cable Lindy CrossOver Cat.6 RJ-45 S/FTP 10m Grey

The Lindy CrossOver Cat.6 RJ-45 S/FTP 10m Grey is a 10-metre crossover networking cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections in structured and ad-hoc network setups. Built to Cat.6 performance, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) signalling and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Factory-fitted RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance, while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for office or equipment-rack installations.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise external noise and pair-to-pair interference, improving signal integrity over its 10 m length. Cat.6 specification enables support for Gigabit speeds required by modern network equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve long-term conductivity and reduce contact wear. The crossover wiring allows direct connection between two network devices without a switch or hub when needed.

Suitable for

• Direct device-to-device connections (PC to PC, switch-to-switch) without intermediate switching equipment
• Gigabit Ethernet links in office and home network environments
• Equipment racks and structured cabling where reduced interference is required
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a 10 m cable length

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Supported signalling: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to each network device ensuring secure seating of the connectors in the ports. For direct crossover use, attach one end to the first device and the other end to the second device; no intermediate switch is required when both devices support crossover connections. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to preserve signal quality. If used within structured cabling, follow local installation practices for securing and routing network cables.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines and large motors to limit interference. Verify device port compatibility for crossover connections; if devices do not support automatic MDI/MDI-X, a dedicated switch or a standard straight-through cable with appropriate configuration may be required.
