Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, grey, 3 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 3 m in grey, is designed for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit networks. The cable uses S/FTP shielding with Pair-in-Pair (PiMF) construction to minimise crosstalk and reduce electromagnetic interference, delivering stable signal performance in demanding LAN, server rack and structured cabling environments. Its 3 metre length provides flexibility for typical rack-to-switch or workstation connections while maintaining Cat6a-rated transmission characteristics.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and Pair-in-Pair design ensure enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, supporting reliable data throughput up to Cat6a performance levels. The cable’s robust construction and standard RJ45 terminations allow plug-and-play installation with switches, routers and network devices. The 3 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management convenience for racks, desks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• Structured cabling between patch panels, switches and workstations
• LAN setups requiring improved signal integrity and reduced interference
• Office and home networks where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Pair design: Pair-in-Pair (PiMF)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Application: Up to 10 Gbps Ethernet, suitable for structured cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding patch panel, wall outlet or device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and avoid sharp bends or kinks near the connectors to preserve cable performance. For best results in shielded installations, maintain proper grounding of the network’s shielding components according to site cabling standards.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from high-power electrical wiring and strong sources of electromagnetic interference. When used in high-density racks or cable trays, keep bend radius within recommended limits and avoid excessive compression. Where applicable, pair this cable with compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels to maintain the shielding continuity.
