Network cable GOOBAY CAT 6 S/FTP 100 m Grey

GOOBAY CAT 6 S/FTP 100 m Grey is a shielded network cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet installations in homes, offices and small data closets. The S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction combines an overall braid with individually foil-wrapped pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting high-speed data transmission in Cat6-compliant networks. The cable is supplied on a 100 m roll in grey and arrives without pre-attached connectors, allowing custom termination with RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or patch panels according to the installation needs.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design improves noise immunity in electrically noisy environments and helps maintain stable signal quality over longer runs. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher frequencies compared to earlier cable categories, ensuring compatibility with modern network devices. The cable’s flexible jacket and standard 100 m length make it practical for structured cabling, offering installers the option to cut and terminate exact lengths for patching, wall outlets or switch connections.

Suitable for

• Structured Ethernet cabling in homes and offices
• Connections between routers, switches and networked computers
• Custom patch panel and wall outlet terminations
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 100 m
• Colour: Grey
• Connectors: none (no pre-attached connectors)
• Conductor type: twisted pairs

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length from the 100 m roll. Strip the outer jacket and separate the individually shielded pairs, taking care to preserve the pair twists as much as possible. Install appropriate RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks or punch-down terminals following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Ensure the shields are correctly terminated to maintain the cable’s EMI protection, using shielded connectors or proper grounding on patch panels and outlets. After termination, test each link with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair order and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded RJ45 plugs and grounded metal hardware when terminating S/FTP cable to preserve shielding effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation; maintain recommended bend radius to prevent performance degradation. For runs longer than 90–100 m consider network design practices such as adding switches or using fiber links for backbone segments.
