Networking Cable Goobay 68698 RJ-45 Cat6 3 m Black

The Goobay 68698 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 3 m black patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. Constructed with copper conductors and a halogen-free (LSZH) outer sheath, this Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to reduce interference and corrosion. The cable's slim black design and robust construction make it suitable for structured cabling, device connections and patch panel use.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resist corrosion for long-term performance. The copper conductor offers efficient signal transmission while the LSZH sheath minimizes toxic gas emissions in case of fire, meeting safety requirements for many installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between routers, switches and computers
• Connecting networked devices such as NAS, printers and IP cameras
• Patch panels and wall sockets in small office or home networks
• Temporary and permanent cabling runs within rack cabinets and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Cable length: 3 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with individual pair shielding and overall braid)
• Conductor material: Copper (CU)
• Sheath material: Halogen-free (LSZH)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch or computer) and the other plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure both endpoints are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce potential interference. For structured installations, use cable clips or cable management within racks to keep the run tidy and strain relief at connection points where appropriate.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 cable for links up to 3 m where Gigabit speeds are required. Avoid excessive bending radii and mechanical strain; maintain separation from mains power lines where possible. In professional or permanent installations, test each link with a network tester to verify continuity and shielding integrity before commissioning.
