Networking cable GOOBAY 95604 — Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP), 1.5 m, RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, gold‑plated contacts

GOOBAY 95604 is a 1.5 m Cat6a networking patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 connectors featuring gold‑plated contacts. The cable is designed for high‑speed Ethernet environments, offering reduced crosstalk and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI). With high‑quality copper conductors, a robust outer jacket and integrated latch protection on the plugs, this patch cable is suitable for links between switches, servers, patch panels and endpoints in home or office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP structure provides aluminium foil shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall aluminium braid, which lowers pair‑to‑pair interference and external noise. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The cable jacket and bend protection improve durability in rack and conduit installations, while the plated contacts and secure latch reduce connection faults. Cat6a performance supports higher data rates and is backward compatible with earlier Ethernet standards.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and high‑speed LAN backbones
• Server racks, switches and patch panels
• Office and home network wiring including wired workstations
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil shield per pair + overall braid)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight plugs
• Contacts: gold‑plated contacts
• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Supported speeds: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE‑T) and backward compatible with lower Ethernet standards
• Power delivery: suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)
• Durability features: bend protection, robust outer jacket, latch protection on plugs

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other plug to the target device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; maintain gentle bend radii and avoid running the cable parallel to sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For permanent installations, label both ends as needed for easy identification in patch panels and racks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s links, use the 1.5 m GOOBAY Cat6a S/FTP cable in short runs between switches, servers and patch panels. Keep cable runs within recommended bend radius, avoid tight bundling with power cables, and verify termination integrity in rack environments. For PoE deployments, ensure connected devices and switches support the required power class.
