Product Information

Full details

This Lindy 10m Cat.7 S/FTP LSZH network cable is designed for users requiring high-speed, reliable network connections in demanding environments like data centers and server rooms. Its primary benefit is supporting bandwidth up to 600MHz for 10GBase-T Ethernet, ensuring robust performance. A potential caveat is that while it uses Cat.7 raw cable, it features Cat.6A RJ45 connectors, which are standard but were not originally part of the Cat.7 specification. Key features include its S/FTP shielding for superior signal integrity, gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance, and a snagless design for easier installation and connector protection.

FAQs

What is the difference between Cat.7 and Cat.6A connectors on this cable?

The cable itself is constructed with Cat.7 raw cable material capable of 600MHz, offering superior shielding. However, it uses standard Cat.6A RJ45 connectors. While Cat.7 originally defined GG45 connectors, RJ45 has become the de facto standard and is capable of meeting Cat.7 performance requirements when implemented correctly, as with this cable.

Is this cable suitable for home use?

Yes, if you require very high-speed network performance, such as for high-end gaming, 8K video streaming, or large file transfers between networked storage devices. For standard internet browsing and typical home use, a Cat.6 or Cat.6A cable is usually sufficient.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. Cables with this jacket material emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, making them safer for use in enclosed spaces or areas with strict safety regulations.

How does S/FTP shielding work?

S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) means each pair of wires inside the cable is individually shielded with foil, and the entire bundle of pairs is then enclosed in an overall braided shield. This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.

Can I use this cable with older Ethernet standards like 100Mbps?

Yes, this Cat.7 cable is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards, including Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100Mbps). It will function correctly, though it will operate at the speed supported by the connected devices and network infrastructure.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the devices and network ports. Try testing with a different known-working network cable to rule out the port or device. Verify network settings on your devices.

Slow network speeds

Check that both connected devices support speeds compatible with the cable's rating (up to 10GBase-T). Ensure the cable is not damaged (kinked, cut) and that connectors are clean and properly seated. Other network components (router, switch) might be a bottleneck.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the connectors are fully seated. Interference from strong electromagnetic sources near the cable could be an issue; try rerouting the cable if possible. Test with a different cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high bandwidth (600MHz) for 10GBase-T networks.
  • Excellent interference protection due to S/FTP shielding.
  • LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors and snagless design.
  • Reliable and corrosion-resistant connections.

Cons

  • Uses Cat.6A RJ45 connectors, not the GG45 specified in the original Cat.7 standard.
  • 10-meter length may be too long for short-distance needs, potentially causing management issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., computer, router, switch) and the other RJ45 connector to your network port. Ensure both connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 ports, including devices supporting 10GBase-T, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet standards. The cable is rated for Cat.7 performance (600MHz) but uses Cat.6A connectors.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable, as this can damage the internal wires and shielding.
  • Keep connectors clean. If dust accumulates, use a dry, lint-free cloth or compressed air.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • The LSZH jacket should be kept away from extreme heat sources.
  • The snagless design protects the connector latch; do not force connections or disconnections.
