Goobay 51516 Cat6 U/UTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 2m, Black

The Goobay 51516 Cat6 U/UTP network cable is a high-quality 2-meter patch cable designed to provide reliable and stable data transmission for modern local area networks. Engineered with precision, this cable features standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware such as computers, routers, switches, and network-attached storage devices. Its robust construction and high-quality inner conductors facilitate consistent performance, making it an essential component for maintaining high-speed Ethernet connectivity in both home and office environments.

Advantages

This network cable offers exceptional signal integrity due to its high-quality internal wiring and durable outer sheathing, which protects against physical wear and tear. The precisely fitted RJ-45 plugs ensure a secure connection that minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection or signal interference. By supporting Cat6 standards, the cable is capable of handling high-speed data transfers, providing a dependable solution for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as streaming, gaming, and large file transfers. Its 2-meter length is ideal for connecting devices located in close proximity, helping to keep your workspace organized and free from excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or routers
• Linking network switches and patch panels
• Connecting gaming consoles to high-speed internet
• Home office setups requiring stable wired connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use, as the sheathing is not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures. Additionally, it is not suitable for applications requiring shielded cables, such as environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, as this is an unshielded U/UTP model.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 U/UTP
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male)
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one of the RJ-45 connectors into the Ethernet port of your networking device, such as a router or switch. Insert the opposite end into the Ethernet port of your target device, such as a computer or game console. Ensure that the plug is inserted until you hear a distinct click, which confirms that the locking tab is securely engaged. The cable is plug-and-play, meaning no additional software or configuration is required for it to function immediately.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 2 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check that your devices have standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports
• Confirm if your specific environment requires shielded (FTP/STP) cabling instead of U/UTP

Usage recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of it. Ensure that the cable is routed away from power lines to prevent potential signal degradation.
