Networking cable GOOBAY 93738 — Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP), 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold‑plated contacts

GOOBAY 93738 is a 2 m Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) network cable with RJ‑45 plugs on both ends designed for high‑speed Ethernet connections in home and office environments. The cable supports Cat6a performance including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and includes gold‑plated contacts to reduce corrosion and improve long‑term contact reliability. Double shielding combines an overall foil and braided sheath with foil around individual pairs (PiMF) to reduce crosstalk and external interference, while a robust jacket and bend protection maintain signal integrity during installation and everyday use.

Advantages

The double‑shielded S/FTP design provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain stable data transmission at higher bandwidths. Gold‑plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure consistent electrical contact over time. The cable is Cat6a tested for performance up to 10 Gbps and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) applications, enabling simultaneous data and power delivery to compatible devices. A sturdy outer jacket and integrated bend relief reduce the risk of damage at the connector area and support reliable long‑term operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, servers and workstations in office networks
• High‑speed home networks and media streaming setups
• Structured cabling installations that require Cat6a performance and shielding
• Power over Ethernet devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding network device ports such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure connectors click into place and that the latch protection is not obstructed. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends, pinch points and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For structured installations, use appropriate cable management and strain relief to maintain the integrity of the connection and reduce mechanical stress at termination points.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, install the cable with gentle bends (observe recommended minimum bend radius), avoid running parallel with mains power cables, and terminate into compatible Cat6a‑rated hardware. When using PoE, verify device power requirements and switch capabilities to ensure safe power delivery.
