Product Information
Full details
The Lindy 47146 Cat.6A S/FTP network cable is designed for IT professionals and home network enthusiasts who require high-performance, interference-free connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its primary benefit is the superior shielding and durable LSZH construction, which ensures long-term signal integrity and safety in diverse environments. One notable caveat is the fixed 0.5-meter length, which limits its use to short-distance connections, such as linking servers in a rack or connecting a desktop to a nearby wall outlet.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this cable be used for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, this Cat.6A cable is fully backward compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.
What does LSZH stand for?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which refers to a cable jacket that produces very little smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire.
Is this cable shielded?
Yes, it features S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, meaning both individual pairs are foiled and the entire cable has an outer braid for maximum interference protection.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and beyond, designed for up to 10GbE applications.
Are the connectors shielded?
Yes, as a Cat.6A S/FTP cable, the RJ45 connectors are designed to maintain the continuity of the shield.
Troubleshooting
No network connection detected
Ensure both ends of the cable are fully seated in the RJ45 ports. Check that the link lights on your network hardware are active.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify that your hardware (switch, router, and NIC) is rated for 10GbE and that the connected ports are not set to a lower auto-negotiated speed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed performance up to 10Gbps
- Advanced S/FTP shielding protects against signal degradation
- Durable snagless connector design
- Safety-focused LSZH cable jacket
- Reliable gold-plated connections
Cons
- Short 0.5-meter length restricts placement options
- Fixed length is not customizable
- Requires proper routing due to rigid shielded construction
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Lindy 47146 is a standard RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cable compatible with any equipment supporting Cat6a or backward-compatible standards. To install, simply click the male RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports until you hear an audible click. Due to the double shielding (S/FTP), the cable is slightly less flexible than standard UTP cabling; avoid bending it at sharp angles, as this can degrade the shield effectiveness over time. When cleaning, use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the jacket, ensuring no liquid enters the RJ45 port area. Always store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the LSZH material.
