Ethernet patch cable GOOBAY CAT6A U/UTP slim black 5 m

GOOBAY CAT6A U/UTP slim black 5 m is an Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed LAN connections supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable features a slim, flexible jacket that reduces overall diameter for easier routing in dense installations and behind furniture. Its U/UTP (unshielded) construction provides balanced pair performance suitable for typical office, server room and home networking environments where shielding is not required.

Advantages

The slim profile lowers cable bulk and improves airflow in racks and conduits while remaining compatible with standard RJ45 ports on patch panels, switches, routers and wall outlets. Constructed to meet CAT6A performance parameters, the cable supports higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower category cables. The 5 m length offers a practical reach for connecting devices within a single room or between adjacent cabinets without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and server environments
• Patch panel to switch or switch to device connections
• Home network wiring where flexible, low‑bulk cabling is preferred
• Cable runs behind furniture, in cable trays or in raised floors with limited space

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A
• Conductor arrangement: U/UTP (unshielded, twisted pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Color: black
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Designed for: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Profile: slim, flexible jacket for reduced diameter

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding RJ45 port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or wall sockets until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends to maintain signal integrity. Route the cable along trays or through conduits as needed, keeping it separate from sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For permanent installations, allow a small service loop to prevent tension on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6A slim cable where space constraints or dense cabling demand lower bulk. For environments with significant electrical noise or where additional protection is required, consider shielded cabling solutions. Regularly inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage and replace if insulation or terminations are compromised.
