GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP networking cable 2 m White with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP networking cable, 2 m length, white. This prewired LAN patch cable has RJ‑45 plugs at both ends and uses copper conductors with gold‑plated contacts to support Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The unshielded U/UTP design is suitable for standard home and office network connections such as router-to-switch, switch-to-workstation or patch panel cabling.

Advantages

The cable provides high‑speed data transmission up to 10/100/1000/10000 Mbit/s and is Cat6a tested for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Gold‑plated contacts and copper conductors ensure low contact resistance and stable signal transfer, while a robust jacket and integrated bend protection reduce the risk of cable breakage. Molded latch protection on the RJ‑45 plugs prevents the clip from snagging or breaking off, and the cable is compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+).

Suitable for

• Home LAN patching and router-to-switch connections
• Office network cabling between switches, patch panels and workstations
• High-speed connections requiring Cat6a performance and PoE delivery

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (U/UTP) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable types (STP/FTP) would be recommended. It is a fixed‑length 2 m patch cable and therefore unsuitable where longer runs or permanent in‑wall installations are required.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (U/UTP)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plating
• Data rate: up to 10/100/1000/10000 Mbit/s
• PoE: compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)
• Jacket colour: white

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into your router, switch or patch panel and the other into the target device or another network port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and pinch points; use the molded strain relief to minimise stress at the connector. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 2 m patch cable fits your setup
• Whether an unshielded U/UTP cable is acceptable for your environment or a shielded cable is needed
• Compatibility with needed data rates and PoE requirements

Usage recommendations

Use this GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP 2 m cable for short patch runs in home and office networks where Cat6a performance and PoE capability are needed; avoid installation in high‑EMI environments or as a substitute for permanent in‑wall cabling.
