Cable de red Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE 3 m, RJ-45 a RJ-45, 10GBase-T, gris

Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE Network Cable, 3 m, grey, is a shielded twisted-pair patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for 10GBase-T networks. The cable conforms to Cat6a standards, supports an operating frequency up to 500 MHz and uses S/FTP shielding (braid overall plus foil on each twisted pair) to reduce electromagnetic interference. The TPE jacket provides enhanced flexibility and toughness compared with PVC, while nickel/gold plated contacts offer corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission. This cable is GRS certified and contains more than 50% recycled materials in its construction; it is packaged in recycled materials.

Advantages

The Lindy Cat.6A cable combines enhanced electrical performance and mechanical durability: S/FTP shielding lowers crosstalk and EMI, Cat6a rating enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 500 MHz, and nickel/gold plated contacts deliver reliable, low-resistance connections. The TPE jacket has a high flex rating and better impact and tear resistance than standard PVC jackets, easing installation and long-term handling. GRS certification and the use of recycled materials reduce environmental impact during production and packaging.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed LAN backbone and server-to-switch connections requiring 10GBase-T performance
• Data centers and wiring closets where shielded cabling is needed to mitigate EMI
• Professional office networks, switches and routers supporting Cat6a links
• Environments where durable, flexible cabling is needed for frequent routing or reconfiguration

When it may not be suitable

This shielded Cat6A cable may be unnecessary for simple home networks that only require lower bandwidth (100 Mbps or 1 Gbps) where unshielded Cat5e/Cat6 cables are sufficient and more cost-effective. In locations where shielded terminations or proper grounding are not available, the benefits of S/FTP shielding may be reduced.

• Contact plating: Nickel with gold plating on contact surfaces
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for increased flexibility and durability
• Colour: Grey
• Environmental: GRS certified; >50% recycled material content and recycled packaging

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a compatible network device (switch, router, network card or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For shielded installations, follow grounding and shielding best practices of the site: terminate shields correctly at patch panels or outlets and, where applicable, use shielded equipment and properly earthed racks to maintain the shielding effectiveness. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables for extended distances to preserve signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link speed and whether 10GBase-T capability is needed
• Whether your infrastructure supports and benefits from shielded cabling and proper grounding
• Physical length needed; confirm 3 m is sufficient for your routing between devices
• Compatibility of RJ-45 ports with Cat6A shielded connectors on your equipment
• Preference for a more flexible TPE jacket compared with PVC alternatives

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP cable in shielded, professionally terminated infrastructures, maintain proper grounding for the cable shield, avoid tight bending radii, and keep the run away from potential sources of electrical interference. Verify both endpoints support 10GBase-T to take full advantage of the Cat6A specification.
