Network cable Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE, 2 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, 10GBase-T, grey

Lindy Cat.6A S/FTP GRS TPE network cable, 2 m length, provides a shielded copper connection for 10GBase-T Ethernet links. The cable supports bandwidths up to 500 MHz and is built with S/FTP shielding — an overall braided shield plus foil around each twisted pair — to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in congested installations. The grey TPE jacket offers greater flexibility and higher impact and tear resistance than standard PVC, while gold-plated contacts and a snagless connector design ensure durable, low-loss RJ‑45 terminations suitable for repeated plugging and unplugging. This version is GRS certified and contains more than 50% recycled material in the sheath and pair insulation.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat.6A specification and S/FTP shielding deliver reliable 10 Gigabit performance up to 500 MHz, reducing crosstalk and external EMI for stable network operation. TPE jacket construction provides enhanced flexibility and a long flex life, making routing and installation easier in patch panels, racks and tight conduits. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and signal transfer, while the integrated snagless strain relief protects the connector latch from mechanical damage. GRS certification and the use of recycled materials reduce environmental impact without altering functional performance.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T connections between switches, servers and high-performance workstations
• High-density patch panels and data centre patching
• Office LAN wiring and meeting-room AV connectivity
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is required

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network device (switch, router or network interface on a server/workstation) and the other RJ‑45 end to the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain a bend radius consistent with installation space and avoid kinking. The snagless strain relief protects the latch during installation and removal; inspect connectors periodically for secure seating when used in high-traffic patching areas.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP cable for links requiring 10 Gigabit throughput or where EMI is present. Avoid running the cable in direct contact with high-voltage power lines and maintain separation from large electrical sources. When installing in racks or conduits, respect recommended bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force; use appropriate cable management to preserve shielding integrity and reduce mechanical stress.
