Network Cable Lindy 0.2m RJ-45 Cat.6A Break-Away Adapter Black Red

The Lindy 0.2m RJ-45 Cat.6A Break-Away Adapter is a short, robust network adapter designed to provide a tidy, reliable connection between two RJ-45 terminated cables. With a 0.2 m cable length and Cat6A performance, the adapter supports high-speed data transfer for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications while offering a break-away feature that helps prevent damage to devices and ports in environments with frequent cable disconnections. Contacts are plated for durability and consistent signal transmission, and the adapter is available in black and red for easy visual identification.

Advantages

The compact 0.2 m length reduces cable clutter and keeps installations neat without compromising signal integrity. Cat6A compliance enables up to 10 Gbps data rates and operation up to 500 MHz for demanding network tasks. The break-away design minimises the risk of damage when cables are accidentally pulled, and the plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and stable connectivity. Available in two colours, the adapter supports quick identification and simple cable management.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in data cabinets and wall outlets
• Temporary or frequently changed workstation connections in offices
• Healthcare and education environments where accidental cable pulls are a risk
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short distances
• Network testing and provisioning where a removable link is useful

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 plug from your network cable into the adapter’s input and connect the other RJ-45 plug to the output, ensuring both connectors are fully seated. Place the adapter in the desired short-link position to maintain a tidy routing of cables. When a quick release is required, the break-away mechanism will allow safe disconnection without transmitting excessive force to the connected device or switch port. Regularly inspect contacts and cable integrity to maintain optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the Lindy Cat.6A Break-Away Adapter for short, high-speed connections where device protection and neat cable management are priorities. Avoid using the adapter as a permanent long-span cable replacement; it is intended for short links and situations where easy removal is beneficial. Ensure connectors are clean and undamaged before use and route cables to minimise strain on the adapter.
