Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, white, 20 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 20 m in white, is engineered for high-speed Ethernet networks and structured cabling where reliable 10 Gigabit performance and reduced interference are required. The cable combines S/FTP shielding with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction to minimise crosstalk between pairs and to protect against external electromagnetic interference. With a 20 metre length and standard RJ45 terminations, it connects switches, patch panels, routers and servers within data centres, offices and home networks while preserving signal integrity across longer horizontal runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design delivers improved immunity to alien crosstalk and electromagnetic noise compared with unshielded alternatives, helping maintain consistent throughput for demanding applications. The Cat 6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper at typical horizontal distances, and the white outer jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible cable runs. Construction and connectors are suitable for rack-mounted equipment and patch panels, offering low-loss transmission and stable network performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in local area networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and servers in server rooms
• Structured cabling installations in offices and data closets
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference where shielding is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF)
• Length: 20 metres
• Color: white
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible terminations
• Performance: supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector ends into the corresponding ports of network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers or network interface cards. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight coils or compression that could damage the shield or conductor geometry. For optimal performance in shielded systems, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and maintain consistent cable management practices in racks and cable trays.

Usage recommendations

For best results use this Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF cable in installations that require high bandwidth and robust protection from interference. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines, and verify continuity and performance with appropriate network testers after installation.
