Networking cable GOOBAY 51543 — Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP), RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 1 m, black, gold‑plated contacts

GOOBAY 51543 is a 1 m Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts. The cable combines individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable high-speed data transmission. Its compact black jacket and slimline strain relief make it suitable for short in-rack, desktop or patch panel connections where space is limited. The cable supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet signalling speeds and is compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+).

Advantages

The dual-shielded S/FTP design delivers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps sustain throughput in congested or electrically noisy environments. Gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable contact corrosion resistance and consistent signal transfer. The 1 m length and slim connectors provide a tidy connection in racks, behind desks or between nearby network devices, while the robust outer braid and strain relief increase mechanical durability during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets within server rooms and office LANs
• Short horizontal runs in wiring closets, racks and desktop setups where space is limited
• Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, including PoE/PoE+ powered devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (pairs in metal foil + overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male
• Contact plating: gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Color: black
• Strain relief: slimline molded relief with latch protection
• PoE support: suitable for Power over Ethernet and PoE+

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 plug into the corresponding network device ports until the latch clicks into place to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short connections between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints; avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector or exceeding its minimum bend radius. When routing in racks or along cable runs, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines where possible to minimize interference and maintain shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use GOOBAY 51543 for short links up to 1 m in structured cabling at Gigabit and 10 Gigabit speeds, ensure connectors are fully seated, and avoid tight bends. If longer runs or installation within electrically noisy environments are required, consider shielded patch panels and proper cable grounding to preserve the shielding benefits.
