Lindy 47553 Network Cable Grey 3 m Cat6 U/FTP (STP)

The Lindy RJ45 Cat.6 U/FTP 3m Grey networking cable provides a Cat6-grade connection for Ethernet networks, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data transmission. Constructed with U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, this 3-metre grey cable has RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward plug-and-play installation between switches, routers, patch panels and devices.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding around each pair minimizes crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over the cable length. Cat6 specification ensures higher bandwidth and more consistent performance than earlier categories for gigabit networking. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management in typical home and office setups, and the standard RJ-45 terminations make the cable compatible with a wide range of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch links in small office racks
• Home networking between gateway devices and wired endpoints
• Temporary and permanent Ethernet runs where a 3 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: U/FTP (foil around each twisted pair)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other connector into the port of the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise to maintain optimal signal quality. For structured cabling, use appropriate cable management accessories such as clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable for gigabit Ethernet links in environments where reduced interference is required; avoid excessive bending radius and exposure to high-voltage power lines. For permanent installations in racks or conduit, verify that the cable type and shielding meet local installation standards.
