Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, grey, 5 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 5 m in grey, is designed for high-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. The cable features S/FTP shielding with pairs in metal foil (PiMF) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in office and server environments. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical rack, desk and wall-mounted installations while maintaining the signal performance required for Cat 6a applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction with an overall shield and individual foil-wrapped pairs improves protection against external electromagnetic disturbances and minimises pair-to-pair interference. The cable meets Cat 6a performance parameters for higher bandwidth and reduced insertion loss compared with lower category cables. A durable outer jacket and standardized RJ45 connectors provide reliable mechanical and electrical contact for frequent plugging and movement in patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centres and server rooms
• Gigabit LAN installations in offices and home networks
• Patch panels, switches and routers in structured cabling systems
• Short to medium horizontal runs where a 5 m cable is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + foil-wrapped pairs, PiMF)
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: grey
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gbps Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector to the corresponding device or outlet. Route the cable to avoid tight bending radii and strong mechanical stresses; maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to reduce potential interference. For structured cabling installations, ensure proper cable management in racks or patch panels and avoid sharp bends near connectors to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in environments that require Cat 6a performance and improved shielding, such as server rooms or office installations with high device density. For best results, combine with compatible shielded connectors and maintain correct grounding of the overall shield in the cabling system.
