Network cable GOOBAY CAT 6a SFTP PiMF 25 cm Red

GOOBAY CAT 6A S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, 0.25 m, with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors in red, is designed for short network connections where high data rates and low interference are required. The cable uses individual foil shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall braid shield (S/FTP, PiMF) and high-quality copper conductors to support up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet while providing a compact cable length suitable for rack, patch panel or desk-side links.

Advantages

The double-shielded S/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The halogen-free (LSZH) jacket and robust outer sheath offer mechanical protection and safer combustion characteristics, while integrated bend relief and latch protection increase connector durability during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in server racks and patch panels
• Connections between switches, routers and network appliances
• Office desktop or workstation network links
• Data center horizontal and equipment-side cabling where Cat6A performance is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A

• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts (3 µm)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free (LSZH)
• Supported speeds: up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• PoE compatibility: suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)
• Color: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device and the other to the switch, patch panel or router port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable without sharp bends to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For rack or panel use, position the cable so that the bend relief is not under strain and avoid tight cable ties directly on the connector area.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.25 m Cat 6A S/FTP patch cable for short, high-speed links where reduced interference is important. For longer runs, select appropriately rated Cat6A or higher-length cables and maintain correct bend radii. Avoid running unshielded cables parallel to power lines; for shielded cables ensure proper grounding of network equipment if required by installation standards.
