Goobay CAT 6 Flat Patch Cable U/UTP, 3 m, Yellow, RJ-45

The Goobay CAT 6 Flat Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed to provide reliable data transmission for home and office environments. This 3-meter yellow cable features a U/UTP unshielded design with high-quality copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, ensuring stable and efficient connectivity for your Ethernet-enabled devices. Its unique flat profile makes it an excellent choice for installations where space is limited or where cables need to be hidden from view.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this flat patch cable is its space-saving design, which allows it to be easily routed under carpets, behind furniture, or along skirting boards without creating unsightly bulges. The high-quality copper construction and gold-plated contacts minimize signal interference and ensure a consistent, high-speed connection. Furthermore, the robust PVC jacket and flexible nature of the cable provide durability while maintaining a low bending radius, making it easy to manage in tight corners or crowded server racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, switches, and modems
• Running cables under carpets or laminate flooring
• Installing network connections behind baseboards or furniture
• Temporary network setups requiring flexible and thin cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not recommended for environments with high electromagnetic interference, as it features U/UTP unshielded construction. It is also not intended for outdoor use or industrial settings where the cable might be exposed to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or heavy mechanical stress.

• Cable length: 3 m
• Cable standard: Cat 6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Dimensions: approx. 1.5 x 6.0 mm

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one of the RJ-45 connectors into the Ethernet port of your network device, such as a router or switch, and the other end into your computer or peripheral device. Ensure the plug is fully inserted until you hear a click. Because of its flat design, you can carefully tuck the cable under rugs or along wall edges to keep your workspace organized. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable with heavy furniture to maintain optimal signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Check if your environment requires shielded (FTP/STP) cables to avoid interference
• Ensure the RJ-45 ports on your devices are compatible with standard Cat 6 connectors

Usage recommendations: For the best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines to prevent potential signal degradation. Always handle the connectors by the plug body rather than pulling on the cable itself to ensure long-term reliability.
