Product Information
Full details
This Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP network cable is designed for users needing reliable, high-speed data transfer up to 10 GBase-T. Its key benefit is superior signal integrity thanks to S/FTP shielding and gold-plated connectors, ensuring a stable connection for demanding applications. A potential caveat is the 0.5m length, which may require extension or multiple cables for longer runs. This 0.5m cable supports bandwidths up to 500MHz, features a snagless design for easy installation, and utilizes LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing for safety in public areas.

FAQs
What is the maximum supported speed for 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 shielding mean?
S/FTP stands for Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair. It indicates that each individual wire pair is foil-shielded, and the entire bundle of pairs is protected by an overall braid shield, offering superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Why is the LSZH jacket important?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing is important for safety. In the event of a fire, LSZH cables emit significantly less smoke and do not release toxic halogenated gases, making them safer for installation in public areas and enclosed spaces.
Is this cable compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this Cat.6A cable is backward compatible with Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 networks, but you will only achieve the maximum performance of the lowest rated component in the chain.
What does 'snagless' refer to?
A snagless connector has a boot design that protects the RJ-45 connector's retaining clip. This prevents the clip from being accidentally broken off when pulling the cable through tight spaces or during installation and removal.
Does this cable come with an individual test report?
Yes, each Lindy Cat.6A cable tested to ISO/IEC 11801 specifications includes an individual test report confirming its performance.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
This cable comes with a 10-year warranty from Lindy.
Troubleshooting
No network connection detected
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Check that the network adapters on both devices are enabled. Try a different port on your switch or router. Test with another known-good cable to rule out device issues.
Slow network speeds
Verify that all network components (cable, switch, network card) support Cat.6A for optimal speed. Ensure the cable is not damaged or excessively bent. Check for other network congestion issues. Confirm the cable is not being used in an environment with extreme EMI.
Intermittent connection drops
Inspect the cable for any visible damage, especially around the connectors. Ensure the snagless boots are not preventing the connector latch from fully engaging. Test the cable in a different location to rule out environmental interference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
- Excellent signal integrity due to S/FTP shielding.
- Durable and corrosion-resistant connectors.
- Safe for use in public spaces due to LSZH jacket.
- Snagless design protects connector latch.
Cons
- Limited length (0.5m) may require extensions for longer distances.
- S/FTP shielding can make the cable slightly stiffer than unshielded versions.
- Requires compatible Cat.6A or higher ports for full performance benefits.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the ports on your devices (e.g., computer, switch, router, patch panel). Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 connectors.
- Plug one end of the cable into an available port on the first device.
- Plug the other end into the corresponding port on the second device.
- Ensure the connectors click securely into place. The snagless boot should not obstruct the latch.
Compatibility:
- This Cat.6A cable is backward compatible with Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 standards. However, to achieve 10 GBase-T speeds, all components in the network chain (including switches, network cards, and patch panels) must also support Cat.6A or higher.
- Compatible with all standard RJ-45 interfaces.
Care:
- Store the cable in a dry environment when not in use.
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks, especially near the connectors, to maintain signal integrity.
- Clean connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth if dust accumulation is suspected. Do not use liquids.
