Goobay RJ45 Patch Cord Cat6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz with Cat7 Raw Cable, 2 m, Red

Goobay RJ45 Patch Cord Cat6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz with Cat7 Raw Cable, 2 m, Red is a shielded Ethernet cable that combines Cat6A-rated RJ45 termination (500 MHz) with a Cat7 raw cable construction. The cable uses S/FTP (pair in metal foil) shielding and high-quality copper conductors with gold-plated contacts to provide stable, high-speed network connections over a 2 m length. The red jacket and robust mechanical features make it suitable for visible patching in racks, workstations, or home setups.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP (PiMF) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while double shielding of the overall sheath increases signal integrity. Gold-plated contacts and a solid copper conductor ensure reliable contact and low signal loss. Additional features such as latch protection and bend protection prolong connector and cable life, and the plug-and-play RJ45 termination enables easy installation without additional tools.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data centers or server rooms
• Gaming consoles and high-resolution video transmission (e.g., 8K @ 60 Hz, 4K @ 120 Hz)
• Professional LAN installations and visible patch cabling in racks or offices

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for short patch connections (2 m) and rack or workstation use; it is not intended as long-distance trunk cabling. While the cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications, installation that requires classification, testing or certification to a specific cabling standard for permanent links should use appropriately rated bulk cabling and installation practices.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat7 raw cable construction with Cat6A RJ45 termination
• Shielding: S/FTP (pair in metal foil + overall braid)
• Frequency: 500 MHz (Cat6A performance at RJ45 ends)
• Conductor: Copper (CU)
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male – both ends
• Colours: Red jacket
• Supports: 10/100/1000/10000 Mbit/s and Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding network device ports (for example, switch to server, patch panel to switch, or console to router). The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional configuration. Ensure the connector latch is aligned when inserting to avoid damaging the latch guard, and route the cable with minimal sharp bends to preserve the internal shielding and prevent signal degradation.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: designed for short patch runs (2 m), not for permanent long-distance trunking
• Compatibility: RJ45 ports and requirements for Cat6A/Cat7 performance in your network equipment
• Colour: red jacket for visible patching or colour-coded installations

Usage recommendations

Use this 2 m Goobay Cat6A S/FTP patch cord for short, high-speed connections in racks, patch panels and workstations. Avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the connectors; if permanent installed cabling is required, select certified bulk cable and professional termination.
