Product Information

Full details

This Lindy 7.5m Cat.6A S/FTP LSZH network cable is designed for users requiring high-speed and reliable network connections, particularly for demanding applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its key benefit is superior data integrity and performance due to its shielding and gold-plated connectors. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific length of 7.5 meters, which may be too short for certain longer runs.

FAQs

What is the maximum data rate supported by this cable?

This Cat.6A cable supports Ethernet standards up to 10 GBase-T, with a bandwidth of up to 500MHz.

What does S/FTP mean?

S/FTP indicates that the cable has an overall braid shield (F/FTP) and foil shielding for individual wire pairs (S/FTP), providing superior protection against electromagnetic interference.

Is this cable safe to use in a public building?

Yes, the cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for use in public spaces due to its low smoke emission and elimination of toxic halogen emissions.

Can I use this cable with older network standards like Cat.5e?

Yes, this Cat.6A cable is backward compatible. However, the connection speed will be limited by the slowest component in the network, meaning you will not achieve 10 GBase-T speeds if connected to older standard equipment.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This Lindy network cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

What is the purpose of the snagless design?

The snagless design features integrated strain relief that protects the connector latch from damage during plugging and unplugging, ensuring the longevity of the connector.

How should I clean the connectors?

Gently clean the RJ45 connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth or an appropriate electronics cleaning wipe if they appear dusty or dirty.

Troubleshooting

Slow network speeds

Ensure both connected devices and the network infrastructure support Cat.6A speeds. Check for kinks or damage to the cable. Verify that the cable is fully seated in the ports.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the RJ45 connectors for dirt or damage. Try plugging the cable into a different port on your network devices. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Connector latch does not click securely

Check the snagless strain relief for any obstructions. Ensure the connector is properly aligned with the port before inserting. If damaged, the cable may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) speeds.
  • Excellent protection against interference with S/FTP shielding.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure long-term reliable connectivity.
  • LSZH jacket provides safety in public environments.
  • Robust snagless design protects the connector latch.

Cons

  • Fixed length of 7.5 meters may not suit all installations.
  • S/FTP shielding can make the cable slightly thicker and less flexible than unshielded cables.
  • Requires compatible Cat.6A or higher network equipment to achieve maximum speeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the RJ45 connectors into the appropriate network ports on your devices (e.g., router, switch, computer, server). Ensure a secure click as the connector latches into place.

Compatibility: This Cat.6A cable is backward compatible with Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 standards, but to achieve the full 10 GBase-T speeds, all network components (devices, switches, patch panels) must also support Cat.6A or higher standards.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range.
  • Do not bend the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius (7.2 cm) to prevent internal damage.
  • Keep connectors clean. If dust accumulates, gently clean with a dry, lint-free cloth or an appropriate electronics cleaning wipe.
  • Store the cable in its polybag when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage.
