Patch cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, 0.5 m, white

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 0.5 m in white, is designed for short interconnections where Cat 6a performance and improved shielding are required. The cable uses S/FTP construction with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) shielding to reduce crosstalk between pairs and to improve protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its compact length makes it suitable for use inside server racks, between switches and patch panels or for tidy workstation cabling where signal integrity and space optimization matter.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF structure provides enhanced alien crosstalk and near-end crosstalk suppression compared to unshielded variants, supporting high data rates and reliable transmission. The 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in dense patching environments and helps maintain organized cable management. The connectors and cable jacket are manufactured to meet the mechanical and electrical requirements typical for Cat 6a applications, offering consistent contact performance and durability in short-link installations.

Suitable for

• Short connections in server racks and network cabinets
• Patch panels to switches in data centres and wiring closets
• Workstation and office desktop patching where space is limited
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: white
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 (8P8C)
• Designed for: high-speed Ethernet and structured cabling up to Cat 6a performance

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support Cat 6a or compatible RJ45 connections. Insert one RJ45 plug into the switch, patch panel or network device port and the other plug into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a click is heard to establish secure contact. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends near the connectors and do not run the cable alongside high-voltage power lines for extended lengths. Use the short 0.5 m length to reduce slack and keep patch fields tidy.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable where short, shielded links are needed to preserve signal quality and minimize electromagnetic interference. For installations requiring grounding of shielded cables, follow your site’s grounding practices and equipment manufacturer instructions to maintain shielding effectiveness.
