Patch cable GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP, 30 m, gray

The GOOBAY Cat 6a U/UTP patch cable, 30 m in gray, is a network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet and structured cabling installations. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper within the Cat 6a specification and is built with unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) geometry to deliver reliable transmission across longer runs. The 30 metre length is intended for connections in data centres, office environments and home networks where extended reach is necessary.

Advantages

This Cat 6a cable offers performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with construction that minimizes crosstalk and maintains signal integrity across the full 30 m length. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional installations and easy identification among cable bundles. Its flexible design allows for straightforward routing through cable trays, conduits and raised floors while meeting the electrical characteristics expected of Cat 6a cabling.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in LANs and server rooms
• Structured network cabling between switches, patch panels and endpoints
• Office and commercial networks requiring extended single-run lengths
• Home installations where higher-than-Cat5e performance and future-proofing are desired

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 30 m
• Colour: Gray
• Performance: Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper within Cat 6a parameters
• Typical use: Horizontal and backbone patching for Ethernet networks

How to use

Route the GOOBAY Cat 6a patch cable between networking devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. Terminate each end into standard RJ45 ports; ensure jacks and ports are rated for Cat 6a or higher to preserve maximum performance. Avoid tight bends and kinks, and keep the cable run away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with Cat 6a-compliant connectors and infrastructure, limit untwisting at termination points, and follow structured cabling guidelines for separation from electrical cabling. Inspect connectors and patch panel ports periodically to ensure secure seating and reliable contact.
