Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP, black, 15 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP patch cable in black, 15 m, is a network connection cable designed for high-speed Ethernet links that require Cat 6a performance. The cable provides unshielded twisted pair wiring for reliable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. With a 15-metre length, it is suitable for longer runs within offices, server rooms and structured cabling installations where a single continuous cable is preferred over multiple shorter segments.

Advantages

The Cat 6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved alien crosstalk resistance compared to lower categories, enabling stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper at typical distances. As an unshielded (U/UTP) cable, it offers flexible handling and straightforward termination for standard RJ45 connectors. The black jacket provides a neutral aesthetic that blends into rack and floor cabling while the 15 m length reduces the need for intermediate patching and potential signal loss from extra connectors.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office LANs and server rooms
• Linking switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets
• Structured cabling runs where a 15 m cable is required
• Temporary or permanent network setups in data centers and workplaces

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 15 m
• Colour: black
• Connector: RJ45 compatible termination (8P8C)
• Designed for: up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over copper at supported distances

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end to a network device such as a switch or router and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured in the ports. For structured cabling, route the cable along cable trays or through conduits to prevent physical strain and maintain bend radius. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat 6a cable in environments that require 10 Gigabit-capable links and maintain proper cable management practices: avoid tight bends, secure with Velcro straps rather than zip ties, and keep cable lengths within recommended distances for the intended network speeds.
