Networking cable GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP 5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, white

GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP networking cable, 5 m long, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable follows the Cat6a standard for high-speed Ethernet and uses unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction. A super-slim design with extra-short RJ45 connectors reduces occupied volume in patch panels and server cabinets, improving air circulation and lowering heat accumulation. The soft, low-smoke halogen-free TPE jacket and slim copper conductors offer high flexibility and a small bending radius while maintaining transmission performance suitable for modern home and office networks.

Advantages

The GOOBAY Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and common lower-speed Ethernet standards, and is suitable for PoE and PoE+ applications. Gold-plated plug contacts and high-quality copper conductors reduce transmission resistance and help prevent corrosion. A compact bend protection reduces the risk of cable damage at the connector. The slim outer diameter and AWG 32 conductors minimize material volume while preserving electrical characteristics required for Cat6a performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and networked PCs in home and office environments
• Patching between switch and patch panel in server cabinets where space and air circulation are important
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, Gigabit and Fast Ethernet connections
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) powered devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch, PC, access point or other Ethernet-enabled device) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the slim TPE jacket allows tight routing but observe the recommended bending radius to maintain performance. For patch panel installations, orient the extra-short connector housing to reduce rear panel congestion and preserve airflow.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. When used in server cabinets or densely populated patch panels, the ultra-slim construction helps improve ventilation; nevertheless, check PoE device power requirements and switch capabilities to ensure sufficient power delivery. Store and install the cable at room temperature and avoid sharp kinks to maintain longevity.
