Lindy 47554 network cable grey 5 m Cat6 U/FTP (STP)

The Lindy RJ45 Cat.6 U/FTP 5m Grey networking cable provides a 5-metre connection designed for Gigabit Ethernet environments. Built to Cat6 standard with U/FTP shielding, the cable minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference for stable high-speed data transmission. Fitted with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and finished in grey, it is suitable for patching between switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets in offices, server rooms and home networks.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding around each pair and an overall foil shield improve signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Cat6 specification supports up to 1 Gbps performance at typical network distances and provides headroom for improved latency and reduced packet loss. The pre-terminated RJ‑45 connectors ensure quick plug-and-play installation while the 5 m length offers flexibility for common equipment layouts without excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and VoIP phones to network switches
• Patching between network switches, routers and patch panels in small server racks
• Home and small office wired Gigabit Ethernet setups
• Cable runs where improved EMI protection is required, such as near power equipment

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Shielding: U/FTP (unshielded overall with foil shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Supported protocols: 10/100/1000Base‑T(X)
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run away from large sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. Use a single continuous cable for the 5 m connection rather than joining shorter cables with couplers to maintain signal integrity. After connecting, verify link lights on network devices and test network throughput if required.

Recommendations

For optimal results in mixed cabling environments, route the cable separately from mains power lines and secure with appropriate cable management. Where longer runs or higher shielding levels are needed, consider selecting higher category or fully shielded alternatives compatible with your network equipment.
