Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 100m Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH Cable is designed for professional IT installers and network engineers who require high-performance, long-distance connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its primary advantage is its robust S/FTP shielding, which ensures data integrity by virtually eliminating electromagnetic interference in dense networking environments, though its 6mm diameter and strict bend radius requirements necessitate careful cable management during installation.

FAQs

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The LSZH jacket is not rated for long-term exposure to UV radiation or moisture found in outdoor environments.

What is the benefit of S/FTP shielding?

S/FTP (Screened Fully shielded Twisted Pair) provides both individual foil shielding for each pair and an overall braid, which offers the highest level of protection against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the Cat.6A standard with high-quality copper conductors is suitable for most PoE applications, provided your hardware meets the power delivery requirements.

Why is the cable labeled as LSZH?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It is used to minimize the amount of toxic, corrosive smoke released during a fire, making it a safety requirement for many public and commercial buildings.

Can I cut this cable to a shorter length?

While technically possible, cutting and re-terminating a high-performance S/FTP cable requires specific Cat.6A certified connectors and professional crimping tools to maintain the shielding integrity. It is generally recommended to buy the correct length pre-terminated.

Troubleshooting

Connection link speed is lower than 10Gbps

Ensure both connected devices support 10GBase-T and that port settings are set to Auto-negotiation or 10G full-duplex.

Intermittent packet loss or drops

Check that the cable is not bent beyond its 7.2cm minimum radius and inspect the RJ-45 connector for debris or damaged pins.

Physical damage to the latch

If the snagless boot has been compromised, ensure the connector is fully seated in the port. If connection remains loose, the patch cord may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior interference protection with S/FTP shielding
  • Safety-certified LSZH sheath for fire-sensitive environments
  • Reliable high-speed 10Gbps data transmission
  • Snagless strain relief prevents latch breakage
  • Robust copper conductor construction

Cons

  • Heavier and thicker than standard UTP cables due to extensive shielding
  • Requires adherence to a 7.2cm minimum bend radius
  • Not intended for frequent bending or tight-radius routing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your network equipment, such as switches and network interface cards, supports the Cat.6A 10GBase-T standard. The cable is fully Plug and Play, meaning no configuration is required; simply connect the RJ-45 male plugs into your hardware ports. During installation, avoid kinking the cable or pulling it through narrow conduits with sharp turns, as this can deform the internal shielding. Store the cable in a cool, dry place within the temperature range of -20 to 75 °C. To clean the cable or connectors, use only a dry or slightly dampened lint-free cloth; avoid chemical cleaners that may degrade the LSZH jacket.
