Network cable GOOBAY 93708 — Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP), 10 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold‑plated contacts

GOOBAY 93708 is a Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Ethernet cable, 10 metres long, with RJ‑45 plugs on both ends and gold‑plated contacts. It is engineered for high‑speed wired networks and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet as well as earlier Gigabit standards. The cable construction combines individually foil‑shielded pairs with an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and external interference, while high‑quality copper conductors and durable outer jacket ensure stable signal transmission and mechanical protection for home, office, or server‑room installations.

Advantages

The double shielding (foil on each pair plus an overall braid) provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and near‑end crosstalk, improving signal integrity for long runs and dense installations. Gold‑plated contacts on the RJ‑45 plugs reduce corrosion and support reliable contact resistance over time. The robust jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability and reduce the risk of damage from frequent handling or tight routing. The cable is designed to meet Cat6a performance levels, enabling 10GBASE‑T operation and compatibility with Power over Ethernet applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and high‑speed LAN segments
• Gigabit Ethernet links for workstations, switches and routers
• Power over Ethernet devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras
• Structured cabling in homes, small offices and server rooms

• PoE compatibility: suitable for Power over Ethernet and PoE+
• Jacket: flexible, abrasion‑resistant outer sheath with bend protection

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, modem or networked device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and tight loops; maintain separation from mains power cables where possible to minimise interference. For permanent installations, allow service loops and secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories without crushing the jacket.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for links up to 10 metres as part of a structured cabling system supporting 10GBASE‑T. Keep the cable away from high‑voltage lines and avoid repeated flexing near connector ends. When using PoE, verify power budgets of switches and powered devices to ensure compatibility.
