Ethernet patch cable GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP, grey, 2 m

The GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP Ethernet patch cable in grey, 2 m, is designed for high‑speed wired network connections that require Cat 6a performance. This unshielded twisted pair cable supports reliable data transmission and is suitable for connecting routers, switches, patch panels and network devices in home and office LAN setups. With a 2 metre length it provides a compact, flexible link for short to medium runs where up to 10 Gbps bandwidth is needed.

Advantages

This Cat 6a U/UTP cable offers increased bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower category cables while remaining unshielded for easier handling and installation in standard networking environments. The 2 m length reduces clutter in rack and desk installations and the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates into most installations. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and is suitable for professional and consumer network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and patch panels in LANs
• Short to medium runs in office and home networks
• High-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances
• Patch cabling behind desks, in network cabinets and media centres

How to use

Plug one RJ45 end of the patch cable into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or network device and the other end into the corresponding port on your computer, patch panel or modem. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to guarantee a secure physical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, mechanical strain and sources of electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to keep the 2 m cable tidy and prevent stress on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat 6a U/UTP patch cable for reliable short- to medium-distance connections where Cat 6a performance is required. Avoid running unshielded cables alongside high-power electrical lines to minimise potential interference, and replace the cable if outer jacket damage or connector faults are observed.
