Networking Cable Lindy Rj45/Rj45 Cat6 30m Blue S/FTP (S-STP)

The Lindy Rj45/Rj45 Cat6 30m networking cable is a 30-metre Cat6 patch cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. Designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, the cable provides a reliable physical link between Ethernet devices across longer distances. The blue jacket identifies the cable in multi-cable installations and the shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable high-speed data transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction combines an overall braided screen with individually foil-shielded pairs to limit crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and consistent contact performance. At 30 m length the cable covers larger rooms, server cupboards or office runs without intermediate patch points, and the Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network outlets in offices and homes
• Wiring server racks or network cabinets where a single 30 m run is needed
• Audio/video installations and streaming endpoints requiring stable gigabit links

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for Ethernet networks up to Cat6 performance and is not a replacement for fibre-optic links where long-distance or immunity to electromagnetic interference beyond copper capabilities is required. It may be less suitable in outdoor or direct-burial situations unless additional protective conduit or jacketing is applied. For applications needing PoE with unusually high power over long runs, check supported power and voltage drop considerations for your devices.

Key specifications

• Length: 30 m
• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided screen + foil per pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Route the cable between network devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding connector until the latch clicks. When running the cable through ceilings, walls or conduit, ensure bend radius recommendations are respected and use strain reliefs at termination points. Test the link with a network tester or by verifying network connectivity and speed on connected devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm 30 m length suits the planned route without excess tension or the need for additional patching
• Ensure Cat6 performance meets your network speed and latency requirements
• Verify S/FTP shielding is appropriate for the installation environment and nearby interference sources
• Check whether indoor-rated cable is acceptable or if additional protection is required for outdoor use

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid bundling with high-voltage power cables, maintain proper bend radius, and terminate into appropriately rated connectors or patch panels. Use a certified cable tester after installation to confirm continuity, pair mapping and achievable throughput.
