Networking Cable Lindy CrossOver Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 30m Grey

The Lindy CrossOver Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 30m Grey is a 30-metre networking cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6 standards with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and ensures consistent signal transmission across longer runs. Its crossover wiring allows direct device-to-device linking where required, and the neutral grey jacket fits into residential and professional environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individual pair shielding to limit crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance electrical contact and resist corrosion for long-term reliability. The 30 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between network equipment racks without active extenders. The cable follows Cat6 specification to support 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking performance.

Suitable for

• Direct device-to-device connections (PC to PC, switch to switch) that require crossover wiring
• Home networks with Gigabit routers, NAS devices and media streaming
• Small office and meeting room cabling where 30 m runs are needed
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference improves link stability

Key specifications

• Cable length: 30 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil plus individual pair foil with drain)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Category: Cat6
• Color: Grey

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the devices you wish to link. For direct device-to-device connections using crossover wiring, plug one end into the first device and the other end into the second device; no additional configuration is typically required on modern network interfaces that support auto MDI-X, but the crossover wiring ensures compatibility with legacy hardware. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure it with cable ties or clips as needed to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure both ends are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports. When installing in permanent pathways, allow service loops and avoid kinking to maintain signal integrity.
