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

GOOBAY Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF patch cable in white, 30 m, is engineered for reliable high-speed LAN connections and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable uses individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall foil shield (S/FTP, PiMF) to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, delivering stable signal transmission across longer runs. Its 30-metre length is suitable for structured cabling between network racks, patch panels and switches in offices and data centers where full Gigabit and 10G performance are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF construction provides improved protection against external noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting consistent throughput for demanding network traffic. The Cat 6a specification is designed to maintain performance up to 500 MHz, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance for visible installations while the cable’s design supports termination to standard RJ45 connectors used in commercial networking equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal cabling
• Connections between patch panels, switches and servers in racks
• Structured cabling installations in offices and data centres
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk

How to use

Plan the cable route to avoid proximity to strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. Use the 30 m patch cable to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels and servers; ensure connectors and ports are rated for Cat 6a performance. When installing within racks or enclosures, maintain appropriate bend radii and secure the cable to prevent strain on terminations. Test the link after installation with suitable network certification or verification tools to confirm 10G and Cat 6a compliance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the Cat 6a S/FTP cable with properly shielded connectors and grounded patch panels. Avoid tight bends and crushing; keep the cable away from mains power cables where possible. Use certified testing equipment after installation to verify throughput and shielding effectiveness, especially in high-density or noise-sensitive environments.
