Patch Cable GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF, gray, 30 m

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable in gray, 30 m, is engineered for structured cabling and high‑speed Ethernet networks. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) design with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) shielding ensures reduced crosstalk and improved protection against electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable connections up to Cat 6a performance including 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper where installation conditions allow. The cable's length and flexible jacket make it suitable for installations in data centers, server rooms and office network backbones requiring extended reach.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF construction combines an overall braided or foil shield with individual pair shielding to minimize near‑end crosstalk and alien crosstalk, improving signal integrity in high‑density environments. A 30 m length provides extended reach for linking switches, patch panels and network devices without additional joins. The gray outer jacket is designed for identification and neat routing in structured cabling runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within buildings where Cat 6a performance is required
• Data centers, server rooms and network cabinets for uplinks and patching
• Structured cabling installations with shielded cable requirements to reduce EMI
• Office networks requiring longer patch lengths between equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a (meets performance for 10GBASE‑T applications)
• Shielding: S/FTP with Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) for individual pair and overall shielding
• Length: 30 meters
• Color: Gray jacket for easy identification
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper (solid or stranded construction as typical for patch cables)
• Typical use: Horizontal and backbone patching in shielded installations

How to use

Route the GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF cable between network equipment, ensuring connectors are compatible with RJ45 shielded ports or shielded keystone jacks. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius during installation to preserve performance. Where the cable must be terminated, use appropriate shielded connectors and ensure the cable shield is properly grounded at the patch panel or cabinet to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP protection.

Usage recommendations

For best results, install this shielded Cat 6a cable in environments where electromagnetic interference is present or where high‑density cabling could cause crosstalk. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded racks; test the installed link with a qualified cable tester to verify Cat 6a performance and 10G readiness before putting the connection into service.
