Networking Cable Goobay RJ-45 CAT7 0.5m Blue S/FTP

The Goobay RJ-45 CAT7 networking cable is a high-performance solution designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this blue patch cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which includes both individual pair shielding (PIMF) and an overall braided shield to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Engineered for stability and speed, it supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and is tested for frequencies up to 600 MHz, ensuring consistent connectivity for high-speed internet and local network applications.

Advantages

This cable offers superior signal integrity thanks to its double-shielded construction and 50µ gold-plated contacts, which provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The molded strain relief design, complete with length indication, protects the cable from mechanical stress and makes organization easier in dense rack environments. Its slim-line profile is specifically engineered to be compatible with all standard patch panels, ensuring a seamless fit even in tight spaces while maintaining high-speed performance standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or switches
• High-speed internet setups requiring 10 Gbps throughput
• Professional server racks and patch panels
• Home and office local area networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 0.5 meters long, which limits its use to short-distance connections between devices located in close proximity, such as within a single server cabinet or between a modem and a nearby router. It is not suitable for long-distance networking or applications requiring cable runs across rooms.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 meters
• Shielding: S/FTP (PIMF and outer braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Contacts: 50µ gold-plated
• Frequency: Up to 600 MHz
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568
• Design: Molded with slim-line strain relief

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding. The slim-line strain relief allows for easy insertion and removal even in high-density patch panels. When disconnecting, press the locking tab down gently before pulling the plug to avoid damaging the port or the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup.
• Ensure your network equipment supports CAT7 standards to fully utilize the cable's performance.
• Check the port spacing on your hardware to confirm compatibility with the slim-line connector design.

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable alongside power lines to prevent potential signal degradation, and always ensure the connectors are free of dust or debris before installation.
