## Summary description

GOOBAY 74346 is a 1 m Cat8.1 network patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts. Designed for high-speed Ethernet including 10/100/1000Base-T(X), it provides improved crosstalk and EMI protection for short-distance connections between switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels in home and office networks.

## Long description

GOOBAY 74346 is a 1 m Cat8.1 U/FTP (STP) patch cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors in a grey jacket. Designed for high-speed Ethernet links, it supports common Ethernet standards and provides enhanced shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference on short-distance links between switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels. The cable uses a slim, flexible construction with a soft TPE jacket and slim copper conductors to save space in dense installations and improve air circulation in server cabinets and patch panels.
Advantages
The cable’s U/FTP (STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal integrity and reduce performance degradation due to external electromagnetic interference. Its Cat8.1 specification and support for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) ensure compatibility with common Ethernet equipment while providing headroom for high-throughput applications within short link distances. The super-slim design and extra-short connectors lower material volume in racks and patch panels, improving airflow and reducing heat build-up compared with conventional cabling.
Suitable for
 Short-distance connections between switches, routers and patch panels in home and office networks
 High-density rack and patch panel installations where space and air circulation are critical
 Connections to network interfaces on desktops, NAS devices and media players
Key specifications
 Category: Cat8.1
 Shielding: U/FTP (individual foil around pairs with overall braid/shield)
 Length: 1 m
 Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
 Color: Grey
 Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
 Jacket material: Soft TPE, slim profile for flexibility
How to use
Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the natural curvature of the slim TPE jacket to preserve signal performance. For best results in high-density installations, use the cable between adjacent ports and keep length appropriate for the physical layout to minimise signal reflections and crosstalk.
Usage recommendations
Use this 1 m Cat8.1 U/FTP cable for short, high-quality Ethernet links where shielding and reduced material volume are important. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines for extended distances and check connectors periodically for secure seating in patch panels and device ports.
