## Summary description

GOOBAY 74358 is a 0.25 m white Cat8.1 networking patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It features gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and reduced corrosion. Designed for high-frequency, short-distance connections such as switch-to-switch or patch panel links in data centers, server racks, and home labs.

## Long description

GOOBAY 74358 is a 0.25 m white Cat8.1 networking patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is designed as a super-slim LAN lead with extra-short RJ45 connector housings to reduce cable volume in server cabinets and patch panels, improving air circulation and reducing heat build-up. It uses gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance and a soft TPE jacket with slim copper conductors for high flexibility and a small bending radius.
Advantages
The GOOBAY Cat8.1 cable combines U/FTP (shielded) pair construction with an ultra-slim AWG 32 conductor design and an outer diameter of approximately 3.8 mm, delivering high transmission bandwidth up to 2 GHz (2,000 MHz) while minimizing physical bulk. Extra-short RJ45 housings and compact bend protection reduce strain and prolong service life. The cable supports PoE standards and high-speed Ethernet, and its low-smoke, halogen-free TPE jacket contributes to safe deployment in rack environments.
Suitable for
Short interconnects in data center racks and patch panels
Switch-to-switch or switch-to-patch-panel links
Server rack cabling and home lab high-speed connections
PoE-powered devices and HDBaseT signal transmission

How to use
Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate RJ-45 ports on network switches, patch panels or devices ensuring full insertion until the latch clicks. Use this 0.25 m patch cable for short, high-frequency links where cable bulk should be minimized. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and respect the cable’s minimum bend radius; the compact bend protection helps prevent kinks but careful routing in dense racks will extend service life. The shielded U/FTP design should be terminated to shielded ports and properly grounded where system grounding is required.
Usage recommendations
Use this Cat8.1 U/FTP cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth interconnects in racks and patch panels, pair it with shielded RJ-45 ports and maintain proper grounding for maximum performance and interference suppression.
