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

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 3 m in white, is designed for high‑speed Ethernet networks providing Cat 6a performance for reliable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit connections. The cable features individually foil‑shielded pairs (PiMF) with an overall foil shield (S/FTP) to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments in offices, data centers and home installations. The 3 m length and standard RJ45 terminations allow easy integration into patch panels, switches and wall outlets.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) construction offers enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity at higher data rates. The Cat 6a specification ensures support for 10GBASE‑T up to specified channel lengths and maintains low return loss and attenuation. The white jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible installations and the 3 m length balances reach and cable management convenience. Gold‑plated RJ45 contacts and precision terminations contribute to reliable contact and low connection resistance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and data center patching
• Structured cabling between wall outlets, switches and patch panels
• Home networks requiring high throughput for streaming and large file transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a performance for high‑speed Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually foil‑shielded pairs (PiMF)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: white
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors suitable for 10GBASE‑T

How to use

Connect one end of the patch cable to the RJ45 port on a network device such as a switch, router or wall outlet and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the mechanical latch. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight bundling near power cables to preserve shielding effectiveness. For patching in racks and cabinets, leave some slack to accommodate rearrangement and avoid mechanical strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF cable for short to medium patch runs where 10GbE performance and EMI resistance are required. For permanent in‑wall installations, verify local building regulations and consider using cables specifically rated for in‑wall or plenum use if necessary. When installing multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of shield terminations at patch panels or outlets to maintain shielding benefits.
