Patch cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, white, 10 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable in white, 10 m, is built for high‑speed copper networking and reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable uses S/FTP (braid shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs) and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction to minimize electromagnetic interference and near‑end crosstalk over longer runs. Its 10 metre length provides flexibility for connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in server rooms, offices and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design offers improved shielding compared with unshielded alternatives, delivering more stable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments. The Cat 6a specification supports bandwidths up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, while the 10 m length permits convenient routing between equipment without additional joins. The white outer jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible cable runs and standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office LANs and structured cabling between patch panels and switches
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a 10 m patch lead

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a
• Construction: S/FTP with PiMF (overall braid shield + foil‑shielded pairs)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz (Cat 6a performance)
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: white
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Use case: designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high‑bandwidth copper networks

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other plug to the device requiring network access. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain shielding integrity and signal performance. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper earthing of the patch panel and connected equipment so the cable’s shield can provide the intended protection against interference.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Verify that connected equipment supports Cat 6a and 10 Gigabit Ethernet where required; make sure chassis and patch panels provide shield termination if you rely on the cable’s S/FTP shielding.
