Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE netwerkkabel 1 m — RJ-45 naar RJ-45, 10GBase-T, grijs

The Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE Network Cable 1 m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed LAN links and professional network environments. The cable supports 10GBase‑T performance with Cat6a specification and an operating frequency up to 500 MHz. It features S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil‑shielded pairs), a grey TPE jacket for improved flexibility and durability, and RJ‑45 straight male connectors with nickel/gold plated contacts for reliable signal transfer.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, delivering stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections where high data integrity is required. The TPE jacket provides higher flexibility and enhanced impact and tear resistance compared with standard PVC jackets, making installation and routing easier in tight spaces. Nickel/gold plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and long‑term contact reliability. The product is GRS certified and manufactured with more than 50% recycled materials, and each cable is individually packaged using GRS certified recycled polybags.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks requiring 10GBase‑T links
• Office LANs and workplace network connections
• Patch panels and switch interconnects in high‑EMI environments
• Temporary or permanent cabling where flexible, durable jackets are needed

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is not intended for long‑distance backbone wiring; longer runs require appropriate solid‑core cabling and installation planning. It is a stranded patch cable optimized for short interconnects and patching, not for in‑wall permanent installations that may require different ratings or installation standards.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (10GBase‑T)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Connector contacts: nickel with gold plating on contact surfaces
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: Grey
• Design: snagless connector / integrated strain relief
• Environmental: GRS certified, >50% recycled material by weight

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other RJ‑45 plug to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. For best performance, avoid tight bends (observe manufacturer bend radius recommendations) and avoid running the cable parallel and close to high‑power electrical cables to reduce EMI. Use this 1 m patch cable for short links between patch panels, switches and devices in racks or desktop setups.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a stranded patch cable is appropriate for the intended run
• Whether 10GBase‑T performance and Cat6A shielding are necessary for your network devices
• Environmental requirements such as flexibility, jacket durability and indoor routing constraints
• Compatibility of RJ‑45 ports on your networking equipment
• Preference for recycled and GRS certified materials

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, use the Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP cable for short patch connections in rack and cabinet environments, avoid exceeding the maximum recommended bend radius, and keep cable runs away from high‑voltage power lines. Where permanent in‑wall installation is required, choose a cable type and installation method rated for that purpose.
