Lindy 0.5m Cat.6 U/UTP Network Cable, Red

Network Cable Lindy 0.5m RJ-45 Cat6 Red is a 0.5 m Cat.6 U/UTP PVC patch cable designed for data transmission up to 250 MHz and compatible with Ethernet standards up to 1GBase-T. The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and comes individually packaged in a polybag. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a snagless strain relief to protect the connector latch during installation and removal.

Advantages

The Cat.6 U/UTP construction provides reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet through optimized electrical parameters (such as NEXT and FEXT) despite lacking shielding. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and long-term connection reliability. The snagless design reduces the risk of connector damage when plugging and unplugging, and the compact 0.5 m length is suitable for short patching runs where a tidy setup is required.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet patch connections between devices (0.5 m runs)
• Home and small office network setups
• Connecting switches, routers, PCs or patch panels within rack or desk environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.6 U/UTP PVC
• Bandwidth: up to 250 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X), 1GBase-T
• Colour: Red
• Standards: manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the snagless strain relief protects the latch during handling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. Use this 0.5 m cable for short patch connections; for longer runs, select an appropriately rated Cat.6 cable of sufficient length.
