## Long description

GOOBAY 74238 is a 3 m Cat6a U/UTP Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. Designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, this cable supports reliable wired connections for desktops, switches, routers and patch panels. The unshielded U/UTP design, black jacket and slim construction suit typical home and office installations where high-speed gigabit connectivity and compatibility are required. The super-slim Cat cable generation features extra-short connectors and a soft TPE jacket with slim copper conductors to reduce material volume in server cabinets and patch panels while improving air circulation and flexibility.
Advantages
The slim design and extra-short RJ-45 connectors reduce the occupied space in racks and patch panels, lowering heat build-up and improving airflow. Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transfer. The soft TPE jacket and slim copper conductors deliver better flexibility for tight routing and neat cable management. Compatibility with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) ensures broad interoperability with existing network hardware.
Suitable for
 Connecting desktops and workstations to switches or routers
 Patch panels and high-density server cabinet installations
 Home and small office gigabit Ethernet networks
 Short runs between networking devices where space and airflow matter
Key specifications
 Cable type: Cat6a U/UTP (unshielded)
 Length: 3 m
 Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
 Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
 Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
 Outer jacket: soft TPE, black
 Design: super-slim cable with extra-short connectors
How to use
Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (desktop, switch or router) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and high-tension points to preserve the slim conductors and TPE jacket. For patch panel installations, align the extra-short connectors to optimise space and airflow in the cabinet.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, use this Cat6a cable for gigabit connections up to typical Ethernet distances for patching and short device interconnects; avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables and maintain gentle bend radii. The slim design is especially beneficial in high-density panels where reduced material volume improves ventilation.
