Product Information

Full details

This Lindy 0.3m Cat.6A U/FTP Ultra Slim Network Cable is designed for users needing a reliable, high-speed network connection in environments with limited space. Its key benefit is delivering up to 500MHz bandwidth for 10GBase-T Ethernet while maintaining a slim, flexible profile. A potential caveat is its short length, making it suitable for close-proximity connections only. The cable features U/FTP shielding, gold-plated contacts, and a snagless design for durability and performance.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of an ultra-slim cable?

The main advantage is its ability to be installed easily in environments with restricted space, such as tight server racks, wall cavities, or under carpets, while maintaining high-speed network performance.

What does 'U/FTP' shielding mean?

U/FTP stands for 'Unshielded Twisted Pair with Foil Shielding'. In this cable's case, it means the overall cable is shielded with foil, and each individual twisted pair within the cable is also shielded with foil, providing enhanced protection against interference.

Can this cable be used with older network standards like Cat.5e?

Yes, this Cat.6A cable is backward compatible with older standards such as Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5. However, the maximum speed will be limited by the slowest component in the network chain.

What is the minimum bend radius for this cable?

The minimum bend radius for this cable is 6 cm, meaning it should not be bent tighter than this radius to avoid damage and maintain signal integrity.

Why do the connectors have gold-plated contacts?

Gold plating provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a reliable and stable connection over the lifetime of the cable, even in environments prone to oxidation.

What is the benefit of the 'snagless' design?

The snagless design prevents the connector's locking tab from being caught or broken off when pulling the cable through tight spaces or bundles of other cables, improving durability and ease of use.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this cable?

The cable is designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Try a different network cable to rule out a cable fault. Check the network adapter settings on your devices.

Slow network speeds

Verify that the connected devices and network infrastructure support speeds higher than the current connection speed. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is properly seated. Check for other potential network bottlenecks.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, especially near the connectors. Ensure the snagless boot is not obstructing the connection. Test with a different cable to isolate the issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for cramped installations due to its ultra-slim and flexible nature.
  • Supports high-speed 10GBase-T networking with Cat.6A performance.
  • Effective shielding (U/FTP) minimizes interference for a stable connection.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated contacts and snagless connectors.

Cons

  • The 0.3m length is very short and only suitable for very close connections.
  • PVC jacket may be less resistant to extreme temperatures compared to other materials.
  • May not be the most cost-effective option for standard, non-space-constrained runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect: Simply plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other into your network port.
  2. Verify Connection: Ensure the connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility:

  • Ethernet Standards: Fully compatible with Cat.6A, Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 standards.
  • Network Speeds: Supports Ethernet speeds up to 10GBase-T.
  • Connectors: Features standard RJ-45 connectors compatible with virtually all networking equipment.
  • Operating Temperature: Can operate within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the cable, gently wipe it with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (-10°C to 40°C for storage).
  • Handling: Avoid excessive bending or kinking, especially near the connectors, to maintain cable integrity. The snagless strain relief helps protect the connector latch, but handle connectors gently during insertion and removal.
