Networking cable Lindy 47870 RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Yellow

Cat.6A S/FTP networking cable, 20 m length, designed for bandwidths up to 500 MHz and compatible with Ethernet standards up to 10GBase-T. The cable uses an overall braided shield plus foil shielding for each twisted pair (S/FTP) and is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801. It comes with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a snagless strain-relief design. The halogen-free LSZH sheath reduces smoke and eliminates toxic halogen emissions, making the cable suitable for use in public spaces. The bright yellow jacket provides easy identification in installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides strong protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-speed data transmission up to 10 GBase-T at frequencies up to 500 MHz. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure durable, corrosion-resistant connections. The snagless strain-relief prevents connector-latch damage during installation and removal. The LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) outer sheath reduces smoke density and avoids halogen gas release in case of fire.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed wired connections for switches, routers and NAS devices
• Structured cabling in offices, meeting rooms and public areas where low smoke emission is required
• Long cable runs between network equipment where interference protection is necessary

How to use

Connect the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices (switch, router, NAS or PC). Ensure connectors are inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the snagless strain-relief helps protect the latch during plugging and unplugging. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain proper bend radius as recommended for Cat6A cabling.

Usage recommendations

For installations requiring guaranteed 10GBase-T performance over the full 20 m, use compatible Cat6A-compliant patch panels and network equipment and keep terminations and connectors free from damage or contamination.
