Lindy 47512 network cable red 2 m Cat6 U/UTP (UTP)

The Lindy 47512 is a 2 m Cat6 U/UTP flat networking cable in red, designed for Ethernet connections up to 1GBase-T and tested to ISO/IEC 11801. It supports operating frequencies up to 250 MHz and features gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and a snagless strain relief. Its thin, flexible ribbon construction is intended for installations in confined or limited spaces and each cable is individually packaged in a polybag.

Advantages

The Cat6 U/UTP design provides reliable performance up to 250 MHz and enables Gigabit Ethernet through optimized electrical parameters. Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion and maintain stable connections over time. The snagless strain relief protects the connector latch during installation and removal. The flat, flexible ribbon form factor simplifies routing in tight spaces where round cables may not fit.

Suitable for

• Home and small office network connections
• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and networked devices supporting 1GBase-T
• Environments with limited cable routing space (under desks, along skirting boards)
• Applications requiring a visible coloured cable for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Lindy 47512 cable to the Ethernet port of your computer, switch, router or network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the flat cable along the intended path, using available clips or adhesive channels if required; the flat profile helps fit the cable into narrow gaps and along skirting boards. When unplugging, press the connector latch and pull straight to avoid stressing the strain relief.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force on the cable. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources (large motors, unshielded power lines) to minimise potential interference despite the unshielded design. Replace the cable if the connector or insulation shows visible damage.
