Patch cable GOOBAY Cat6a S/FTP (PiMF) white 5 m

GOOBAY Cat6a S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, 5 m, white, is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit network connections. Its S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs and pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) design to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is intended for use with switches, routers, network interfaces and other LAN devices in home and office environments where higher bandwidth and stable signal transmission are required.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP (PiMF) structure provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transfer at high speeds up to 10 Gbps. The Cat6a specification ensures reduced alien crosstalk and better performance over longer patch lengths. The flexible outer sheath and standard RJ45 connectors make the cable easy to route and connect to common networking equipment while maintaining reliable contact and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in LAN environments
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, video conferencing and file transfers
• Shielded installations in offices, server rooms or residential setups with potential interference sources

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented performance for 10 Gbps)
• Shielding: S/FTP with overall foil and individually shielded twisted pairs (PiMF)
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: White
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, solid or stranded conductor depending on assembly (suitable for patching)
• Designed for frequencies up to 500 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (for example a switch or router) and the other RJ45 plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure proper contact. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and strong mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines to minimise interference. For permanent installations, verify connector type and conductor configuration to match wall outlets or keystone jacks.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or mixed environments where interference may affect unshielded cabling. Keep cable runs within recommended distances for structured cabling and test links after installation with appropriate network testers to confirm 10 Gbps capability and proper shielding continuity.
