Goobay Cat6 S/FTP Networking Cable, 5 m, RJ-45 Connectors, Black

The Goobay Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a high-performance solution designed for reliable data transmission in modern network environments. With a length of 5 meters, this cable provides the flexibility needed to connect various network devices such as computers, routers, and switches. It is engineered to support high-speed data transfer, ensuring that your network infrastructure remains stable and efficient for both home and professional office setups.

Advantages

This networking cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, resulting in a cleaner and more stable signal. The inclusion of gold-plated RJ-45 connector contacts further enhances signal quality by preventing corrosion and ensuring a secure physical connection. Its robust construction is built to withstand daily wear and tear, providing a long-lasting solution for your connectivity needs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to local area networks
• Linking routers and modems to network switches
• High-speed internet applications up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Home office and professional networking environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the ideal choice for outdoor installations where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations, as it is designed primarily for indoor use. Additionally, if you require a cable length significantly longer than 5 meters, you may experience signal degradation without the use of active network repeaters or switches.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 S/FTP
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Compatibility: 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is engaged. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by furniture, as this can damage the internal wiring and affect performance. When disconnecting, press down on the plastic locking tab before pulling the connector out of the port to avoid damaging the cable or the device socket.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the distance between your devices to ensure 5 meters is sufficient.
• Verify that your network hardware supports Cat6 standards for optimal speed.
• Check if your environment requires shielded cables to avoid interference from nearby power lines.

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power cables over long distances, as this can introduce electrical noise. Keep the cable organized using cable ties to prevent tangling and potential physical stress on the connectors.
