Goobay CAT 6 UTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 10m, Yellow

The Goobay CAT 6 UTP network cable is a reliable solution for establishing high-speed connections in local area networks. Measuring 10 meters in length, this patch cord is designed to provide stable data transmission between networking hardware such as computers, routers, switches, and network-attached storage devices. With its standard RJ-45 connectors, it ensures broad compatibility with most modern networking equipment, making it an essential component for both home and office environments.

Advantages

This cable features a high-quality construction that includes molded strain relief to prevent damage at the connection points, significantly extending the lifespan of the cable. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts ensures optimal signal conductivity and resistance to corrosion over time. By adhering to the EIA/TIA 568 standard for pair sequencing, the cable maintains consistent performance levels, reducing the risk of data loss or interference during operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or routers
• Linking network switches and patch panels
• Connecting gaming consoles to modems for stable online play
• Home office and small business network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or environments where it will be exposed to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures. Additionally, because it utilizes CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors, it may not be suitable for high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications that require pure copper cabling to prevent overheating.

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT 6 UTP (Unscreened Twisted Pair)
• Length: 10 meters
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45
• Contact material: Gold-plated
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568
• Design: Molded with strain relief

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your source device, such as a router or modem, and the other end into the port of your target device, such as a computer or printer. Ensure that the connector is fully inserted until you hear a distinct click, which indicates that the locking tab is secure. Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of it to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 10 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network equipment supports CAT 6 standards
• Ensure the environment is indoors and climate-controlled

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the cable for signs of physical wear or damage. Keep the cable away from power lines to minimize potential electromagnetic interference.
