Networking cable Goobay 55436 RJ-45 Cat6 40 m Black

The Goobay 55436 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 40 m black U/UTP cable designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed with copper conductors and a double-layer polyethylene (PE) jacket, this cable offers enhanced mechanical protection and resistance to weathering and UV radiation. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to ensure consistent contact and reduce corrosion risk. The cable supports typical Cat6 performance for home, office and outdoor installations including camera and façade connections.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines copper conductors with U/UTP construction to deliver stable data transmission and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable electrical contact and improved durability at connection points. The double-layer PE jacket adds mechanical robustness and is specifically formulated to withstand outdoor exposure, UV radiation and weathering. The 40 m length allows for flexible placement of network devices without the need for intermediate active components.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections (Cat6)
• Home and office LAN installations
• Outdoor network runs such as garden or façade routing
• Connecting network cameras and surveillance equipment
• Temporary setups for events or camping where weather resistance is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (U/UTP)
• Length: 40 m
• Conductors: copper (CU)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket: double-layer polyethylene (PE), UV- and weather-resistant
• Colour: black

How to use

Route the cable following standard network installation practices, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force to preserve internal conductors. Terminate both ends into RJ-45 compatible ports on switches, routers or network devices; ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. For outdoor runs, secure the cable along fixings or conduit and avoid prolonged contact with standing water. When used with surveillance cameras or façade installations, keep connector interfaces sheltered when possible to prolong contact reliability.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended Cat6 distance limits for your network equipment and avoid bundling with high-voltage power lines. If the installation requires permanent underground placement or direct burial, use a cable specifically rated for direct burial. Inspect connectors periodically for corrosion in harsh environments and replace or reseal connections if necessary.
