Lindy 47166 Netwerkkabel rood 5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy 47166 RJ-45 Cat6 5 m Red networking cable is a Category 6 patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. It measures 5 metres in length and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The cable follows 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology and its red jacket helps with visual identification and structured cabling organization.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable offers consistent gigabit performance for network links and point-to-point connections. S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential EMI sources, and gold-plated contacts enhance long-term connector reliability. The 5 m length balances reach and neat cable management for typical office and home installations. The red outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify within cable bundles and racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within LANs
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, printers and networked devices
• Short to medium run connections in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Environments where reduced interference is required (S/FTP shielding)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with braided overall shield)
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the device ports (switch, router, network card or patch panel) until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve performance. For installations in racks or bundles, label both ends if required and ensure connectors are accessible for maintenance. When replacing or upgrading cabling, verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for gigabit LAN connections where interference mitigation and clear cable identification are important. For longer distances or higher network standards, consider using appropriate higher-category cabling or fibre optics.
