Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP, 1 m, white

The GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP patch cable, 1 m in white, is a short, flexible network connection cable designed for high-speed Ethernet and structured cabling environments. Constructed to meet Cat 6a performance parameters, it supports higher transmission frequencies suitable for 10 Gigabit networks while minimising crosstalk in typical home and office installations. The compact 1 m length is intended for neat connections between switches, patch panels, routers and network endpoints where a reliable, low-latency link is required.

Advantages

This Cat 6a cable uses an unshielded U/UTP construction optimised for reduced interference in balanced twisted pair networks. Its physical length and flexible jacket enable tidy cable management in racks and under desks. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common networking equipment, providing consistent signal integrity for gigabit and 10 gigabit Ethernet links within its specified range.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in small server rooms
• Linking routers and access points to local network devices
• Short desktop or cabinet connections between PCs, NAS and networked printers
• Home and office structured cabling where Cat 6a performance is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a performance for higher-frequency Ethernet
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: white
• Connector type: standard 8P8C (RJ45) compatible
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on networking devices until the latch clicks. Use the 1 m cable to make direct links between adjacent equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and network endpoints. Ensure connectors and ports are free of dust and that bend radius is not exceeded to maintain signal quality. For permanent installations, route the cable through cable management trays or behind panels to avoid strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines and keep it away from large electrical appliances. Use the 1 m length for short, tidy connections; choose longer lengths for greater separation between devices. Test links after installation to verify expected throughput and replace the cable if connectors show visible damage.
