Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, black, 15 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 15 m in black, is designed for high‑speed Ethernet networks and long cable runs. The cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission and features a shielded S/FTP design with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction that reduces crosstalk and protects against electromagnetic interference. Its length and construction make it suitable for backbone connections, switches, patch panels and longer structured cabling in office or data centre environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF construction combines an overall braid shield with individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs to provide enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and near‑end crosstalk. The Cat 6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, ensuring reliable high‑speed data transmission. A 15 m length offers flexibility for installations that require longer reaches without intermediate patching, while a durable outer jacket and robust connectors maintain signal integrity over time.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal links
• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Data centre and server room cabling runs
• Office structured cabling with longer distances

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP with overall braid and individually foil‑shielded pairs (PiMF)
• Maximum supported bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 15 meters
• Colour: black
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked to maintain a reliable connection. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain recommended bend radius and avoid tight loops. For installations near potential sources of electromagnetic interference, orient and separate the cable to reduce exposure and take advantage of the cable's shielding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF cable in environments where 10 Gigabit links or high immunity to interference are required. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high‑voltage power lines. When installing in racks or containment, follow manufacturer bend‑radius guidance and secure cables with appropriate ties or organisers to preserve shielding and reduce mechanical stress.
