Cable, GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, white, 2 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, 2 m, white, is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for stable high-speed data transmission in 10 Gigabit networks. Its S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) shielding around each twisted pair to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Designed for structured cabling in offices, data centers and home networks, this 2 m patch cable connects switches, routers, servers and network devices where signal integrity and reduced interference are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) design provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances compared with unshielded alternatives. Cat 6a specification supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over copper at typical distances, ensuring compatibility with modern network equipment. The 2 m length is suitable for short patch connections, reducing cable slack and improving cable management. The white jacket offers a neutral visual appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• High-speed workstations and networked storage requiring 10 Gbps links
• Office and home network installations where EMI shielding is needed
• Short-range patching between network devices and wall outlets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) plus overall braided shield
• Data rate: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: white
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) terminated on both ends
• Use environment: indoor structured cabling and patching

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or network interface card and the other connector into the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for copper Ethernet and avoid unnecessary splices or extensions.

Usage recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, connect to shielded network ports or use shielded patch panels and maintain proper grounding of the overall cabling system. Use this 2 m Cat 6a S/FTP cable for short patch runs where reduced crosstalk and EMI are required; choose longer Cat 6a S/FTP cables when greater separation is needed.
