Goobay CAT 6 Flat Patch Cable, U/UTP, RJ-45, 2 m, Blue

The Goobay CAT 6 Flat Patch Cable is a high-performance network solution designed for reliable data transmission in home and office environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this U/UTP Ethernet cable features a slim, flat profile that makes it exceptionally easy to route through tight spaces, such as under carpets, behind furniture, or along skirting boards. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it ensures a stable and high-quality connection for your networking hardware.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable is its ultra-flat design, which allows for discreet installation without the need for bulky cable management. Despite its slim profile, the cable is constructed with high-quality copper conductors and a durable PVC jacket, ensuring longevity and consistent signal integrity. The gold-plated contacts provide superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion, while the flexible nature of the cable allows for a tight bending radius, making it perfect for complex routing paths where standard round cables might be too rigid.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or network switches
• Running cables under carpets or behind baseboards
• Space-saving installations in home offices
• Temporary network setups requiring flexibility

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not recommended for high-interference environments where shielded (S/FTP or F/UTP) cables are required to prevent electromagnetic interference. Additionally, because it lacks latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors, it may not be ideal for high-traffic areas where the cable is frequently plugged and unplugged, as the plastic tab could be prone to snapping.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Cable standard: Cat 6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Cable dimensions: Approx. 1.5 x 6.0 mm
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: Blue

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device, such as a router, modem, or computer, until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is routed carefully along walls or under flooring, taking care not to pinch or crush the cable under heavy furniture. Once connected, the device should automatically detect the network link.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 2 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your environment requires shielded cables to avoid signal interference
• Ensure your devices support RJ-45 Ethernet connections

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles and keep it away from power lines to minimize potential signal interference.
