Networking cable GOOBAY 96418, Cat6 U/UTP (UTP), RJ-45–RJ-45, 3 m, red

GOOBAY 96418 is a 3 m Cat6 U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a red jacket. It is designed for Ethernet connections up to Cat6 performance and uses unshielded twisted-pair wiring suitable for LAN, router, switch and patch-panel connections in home and office networks. The cable features a flat profile and flexible PVC sheath that enable low-profile routing behind skirting boards, under carpets or along walls while maintaining stable signal transmission via high-quality copper conductors and gold-plated contacts.

Advantages

The flat Cat6 U/UTP cable provides reliable data transmission up to Cat6 specification with reduced space requirements thanks to its thin, flexible profile. Gold-plated contacts and copper conductors improve electrical contact and reduce signal loss, while the robust PVC jacket and bend protection increase mechanical durability. Standard EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence ensures compatibility with common networking equipment and straightforward plug-and-play installation using RJ-45 connectors on both ends.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, switches and patch panels in home and small office networks
• Low-profile installations behind skirting boards or under carpets and wooden floors
• Temporary or permanent patching of Ethernet ports in network racks and wall outlets
• Short to medium cable runs up to 3 m where Cat6 performance is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (computer, switch or router) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network endpoint or patch panel. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the flat cable along the desired path, taking advantage of its low bending radius to guide it behind skirting boards, under carpets or along walls. Avoid tight kinks and excessive tensile forces. For in-wall or permanent concealed installations consult local regulations and standards.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for short runs up to 3 m to maintain optimal performance. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and large power cables to reduce the potential for interference. For environments with high electromagnetic noise or where physical shielding is required, consider using a shielded cable variant instead.
