Lindy 48186 netwerkkabel rood 7,5 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy Rj45/Rj45 Cat6 7.5m Red is a 7.5 metre Category 6 networking cable with U/UTP construction and standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for gigabit Ethernet environments, this red Cat6 cable provides a reliable physical link between network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. The U/UTP shielding and Cat6 specification support stable data transmission and help maintain signal integrity across typical home and office distances.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines industry-standard RJ-45 terminations with U/UTP cabling technology to deliver consistent performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The 7.5 m length covers medium-distance connections without requiring additional patching. The cable's red colour improves visibility for cable management and quick identification in structured cabling installations. Its construction aims to minimise crosstalk and maintain throughput suitable for gigabit applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and workstations to network switches or routers
• Linking switches and patch panels within a server room or wiring closet
• Extending wired connections for home office and small business networks
• Temporary or permanent network runs where colour-coded cabling is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded configuration)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other RJ-45 connector into the destination device (for example a PC or access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a stable connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and places with potential mechanical stress; maintain separation from power lines where possible to reduce electromagnetic interference. For best results, verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep bend radius larger than the cable diameter. Use the red colour to mark specific network segments or services, and replace the cable if visible damage to the jacket or connectors occurs. Cat6 cabling is suitable for gigabit Ethernet but consider higher-category cables if planning future upgrades to multi-gigabit or 10 Gigabit over longer distances.
