FAQs

What does 'S/FTP LSZH' mean?

S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair, indicating both overall braiding and individual foil shielding for the twisted pairs, offering excellent protection against interference. LSZH means Low Smoke Zero Halogen, referring to the cable's jacket material which is safer in case of fire as it emits less smoke and no toxic halogen gases.

Why does the cable imprint say 'Cat.6A' if it's Cat.7 material?

The cable material itself meets Cat.7 specifications for bandwidth up to 600MHz. However, the RJ45 connector, while developed to meet Cat.7 requirements, was never formally standardized for it. Therefore, the imprint reflects the RJ45 connector's specification level (Cat.6A) alongside the cable's raw performance.

What is the maximum bandwidth and speed supported by this cable?

This cable uses Cat.7 material supporting bandwidth up to 600MHz and is designed for network speeds up to 10GBase-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet).

Is this cable suitable for home use?

While perfectly functional for home use, its robust shielding and high-speed capabilities are particularly beneficial in environments like data centers, server rooms, or offices with high network traffic demands. For basic home networking, a Cat.6 or Cat.6A cable might suffice, but this Cat.7 cable offers superior performance and future-proofing.

How does the shielding protect my network?

The S/FTP shielding (overall braid and individual foil wraps) protects the data signals from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk between cable pairs. This leads to more stable connections and higher data integrity, especially in environments with many electronic devices.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

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

Can I use this cable with older network equipment?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible. It will work with devices and network standards lower than 10GBase-T, such as Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) and Fast Ethernet (100Base-T). However, the connection speed will be limited by the slowest component in the network chain.

Troubleshooting

No network connection or intermittent drops

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports. Check the cable for any visible signs of damage. Try connecting with a different known-good cable to rule out the cable as the issue. Verify network device settings.

Slow network speeds

Confirm that both the connected devices and network infrastructure support speeds higher than 1GBase-T. Ensure the cable is not damaged and the connectors are clean. Check for excessive length or interference if used in a non-ideal environment.

Connector latch breaks easily

Always use the snagless strain relief tab to disconnect the cable, rather than pulling directly on the cable or connector body. This is designed to protect the latch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed 10GBase-T networking.
  • Robust S/FTP shielding protects against interference.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated contacts and snagless design.
  • LSZH material enhances safety in sensitive environments.
  • Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 standards for quality assurance.
  • Includes a 10-year warranty.

Cons

  • The imprint reads 'Cat.6A S/FTP patch cords' despite using Cat.7 cable material, which might be confusing.
  • RJ45 connectors, while capable, were not the originally defined connector for Cat.7 standard (GG45 was).
  • Limited to 600MHz bandwidth, which is the standard for Cat.7.
  • Primarily suited for data centers and server room environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug one end of the RJ45 connector into your network device (e.g., switch, router, server) and the other end into your network port. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection is secure.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 ports that support Ethernet standards up to 10GBase-T. It adheres to the ISO/IEC 11801 specification and utilizes Cat.7 cable material, designed to work within networks operating up to 600MHz.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
  • Keep the connectors clean. If they become dusty, use a dry, lint-free cloth or a specialized electronic cleaning wipe.
  • Store the cable away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Use the snagless strain relief feature to unplug the cable; avoid pulling directly on the cable itself.
