Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP, grey, 0.5 m

GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP patch cable in grey, 0.5 m, is a short Ethernet connection cable designed to meet Cat6a performance for high-speed data transmission. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design provides reliable connectivity between switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels where short-link cabling is required. Compact and flexible, this half-meter cable is suitable for dense cabling environments and reduces excess cable clutter while preserving signal integrity for typical Cat6a applications.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6a performance parameters for reliable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, offering controlled impedance and reduced crosstalk expected from the Cat6a standard. Its 0.5 m length minimizes cable slack and improves cable management in racks and workstations. The U/UTP construction enables straightforward installation without additional shielding, and the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that fits office and data-centre environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network ports within racks or patch panels
• Short interconnections between devices in office workstations and home networks
• Data centre and server cabinet jumpers where compact cable runs are required
• Temporary test setups and network troubleshooting that require short, reliable links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Grey
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (standard 8P8C)
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Typical use environment: Office, home network, data centre racks

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring secure clip engagement. Use the 0.5 m length to connect adjacent ports on switches, patch panels or wall outlets to avoid excess cable loops. For best performance, avoid severe bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. The unshielded construction does not require grounding; simply route the cable according to your cable management plan.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this Cat6a U/UTP patch cable for short interconnections up to the specified category distance guidance. Where longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference are expected, consider shielded alternatives. Label both ends in patch panels or racks to simplify maintenance and avoid unnecessary disconnects during reconfiguration.
