Goobay 68697 Cat6 S/FTP Network Cable, 20 m, RJ-45, Black

The Goobay 68697 Cat6 S/FTP network cable is a high-performance solution designed for stable and fast data transmission in both home and professional network environments. With a length of 20 meters, this cable provides the flexibility needed to connect network components across larger spaces while maintaining signal integrity. The use of high-quality copper conductors and double shielding ensures that your network remains protected against electromagnetic interference, delivering reliable performance for demanding applications.

Advantages

This network cable stands out due to its robust construction and advanced shielding technology. The S/FTP design, which includes both foil shielding for individual wire pairs and an overall braid shield, effectively minimizes crosstalk and external interference. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors ensures optimal conductivity and long-term durability. Furthermore, the cable features a halogen-free LSZH jacket, making it a safer choice for indoor installations, while the integrated latch protection prevents accidental damage to the connectors during installation or removal.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or switches
• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
• Home office and professional network setups
• Extending network connections over longer distances

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor environments where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations, as it is designed for indoor use. Additionally, due to its 20-meter length, it may be excessive for simple desktop connections where a shorter cable would reduce cable clutter.

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Cable standard: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Data rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket material: Halogen-free (LSZH)
• Color: Black

To use this cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a router, switch, or computer, until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is routed safely along walls or through cable management systems to prevent tripping hazards or physical damage to the wire. The latch protection mechanism should be handled gently when disconnecting to ensure the longevity of the plug.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 20 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network devices support Cat6 standards for optimal speed
• Confirm that the installation area is suitable for indoor-rated cabling
• Ensure the RJ-45 ports on your equipment are accessible

For the best performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles and keep it away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation.
