Product Information
Full details
This Lindy Cat.6A U/FTP LSZH Solid Core Cable is designed for professionals and enthusiasts requiring high-speed, reliable network connections up to 10GBase-T. Its key benefit is superior signal integrity and stable electrical performance for demanding applications like HDBaseT and PoE, even over extended distances. A potential caveat is its solid core construction, which is less flexible than stranded cables and best suited for permanent installations.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of U/FTP shielding?
U/FTP (Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides individual foil shielding for each pair of wires within the cable, significantly reducing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, leading to more stable and faster data transmission.
Is this cable suitable for running through walls?
Yes, this cable features a solid core construction, which is ideal for permanent installations like running through walls, conduits, or trunking. It is less flexible than stranded cables, making it less suitable for applications requiring frequent movement.
What does LSZH mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable's outer jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogen gases when burned, making it safer for installation in public buildings and enclosed spaces.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat.6A cable is well-suited for PoE applications, including PoE+, as it provides stable electrical performance and can handle higher current requirements necessary for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The Lindy Cat.6A U/FTP LSZH Solid Core Cable comes with a 10-year warranty.
What is the maximum supported frequency for this cable?
This Cat.6A cable supports a bandwidth of up to 500MHz.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity
Verify both ends of the cable are securely connected to their respective devices. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Test with a known working cable.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connection
Ensure the cable is not bent too sharply or kinked. Check that the connected devices support the expected speed (e.g., 10GBase-T). Confirm there are no other sources of interference nearby.
Connector latch breaks or fails to secure
The snagless design should protect the latch. If damage occurs, the connector may need replacement. Ensure the cable is not forced into tight spaces where it could stress the connector.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High performance for 10GBase-T and up to 500MHz bandwidth.
- U/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against interference.
- LSZH jacket material is suitable for installations in public areas.
- Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable and long-lasting connections.
- Snagless design protects connector latches.
- Ideal for demanding applications like HDBaseT and PoE.
Cons
- Solid core construction makes it less flexible than stranded cables.
- Not ideal for applications requiring frequent cable movement.
- Requires careful installation due to solid core nature.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a solid core cable and is designed for permanent installations, such as running through walls or conduits. Ensure proper termination with compatible Cat.6A RJ45 connectors or patch panels. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling.
Compatibility: Fully compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting Cat.6A, Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Ethernet standards up to 10GBase-T. It works with routers, switches, network interface cards, HDBaseT extenders, and PoE devices.
Care: To maintain optimal performance:
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Keep away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
- Regularly inspect connectors for dust or debris. Clean gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
