Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP, gray, 1 m (model RB79179)

GOOBAY Cat6a U/UTP patch cable, 1 m in gray, is engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections in professional and home network environments. The cable follows Cat6a performance parameters and U/UTP construction, enabling data transmission up to 10 Gbps when used with compatible infrastructure. Its compact 1 m length makes it suitable for short patching runs between switches, patch panels, routers and network devices inside cabinets or on desks.

Advantages

The GOOBAY Cat6a cable provides reliable signal integrity for demanding network traffic while keeping a slim profile for tidy installations. U/UTP construction balances cost and performance by offering pair-level unshielded twisted pairs within an overall unshielded jacket, suitable for environments where full shielding is not required. The gray jacket offers a neutral appearance for professional installations and easy visual identification in mixed cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking routers and network devices on office desks
• Short jumper runs in server rooms and wiring closets
• Home network setups requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: gray
• Maximum supported link speed: up to 10 Gbps over suitable infrastructure
• Typical use: Ethernet patching for data and network equipment

How to use

Insert each connector into the corresponding RJ45 port on your network devices until the latch clicks. Use the 1 m length for short connections between adjacent equipment such as switch-to-patch-panel or switch-to-router links. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable to prevent strain on the terminations. For optimal performance, pair the cable with Cat6a-compliant ports and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps operation, ensure the connected equipment and the rest of the cabling channel meet Cat6a specifications. In environments with strong electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cabling systems or keep U/UTP runs separated from mains and large electrical equipment. Label both ends when deploying multiple short patch cables to simplify maintenance.
