GOOBAY CAT 6A Patch Cable U/UTP RJ-45 to RJ-45 0.25 m, white, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY CAT 6A Patch Cable U/UTP RJ-45 to RJ-45 0.25 m in white is a short, unshielded network patch cable designed for high-speed connections where minimal cable length is required. Compliant with the Cat6a standard, this cable supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and maintain reliable signal transfer. The compact 0.25 m length is suitable for patching between adjacent ports in racks, switches, patch panels and desktop devices while keeping cable clutter to a minimum.

Advantages

The cable’s U/UTP construction and high-quality copper conductor provide stable transmission at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Gold-plated connector contacts improve long-term contact reliability by resisting oxidation and ensuring low contact resistance. A robust outer jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability, while latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs reduces the risk of connector damage during handling. The cable is Cat 6A tested and suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports in equipment racks and small enclosures
• Connecting adjacent ports on patch panels and switches
• Short desktop connections between network devices and wall outlets
• PoE device connections where short cable runs are required

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 plug into the source device’s Ethernet port and the other into the target device, switch or patch panel port until the latch clicks into place. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain optimal contact. Use the short 0.25 m length for connections where devices are positioned closely together to reduce excess cable and improve rack or desktop neatness. Avoid excessive bending near the connector overmould to preserve the internal conductors and contact integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal performance, avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii that do not kink the cable. Use this short Cat6a patch cable for direct port-to-port connections in racks, patch panels or desktops; choose longer Cat6a cables for greater separation between devices. Inspect connectors periodically for deformation and replace the cable if contacts become damaged or corroded.
