Network patch cable GOOBAY CAT 6A S/FTP (PiMF) — 20 m, RJ‑45, grey

GOOBAY CAT 6A S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable — 20 m with RJ‑45 connectors and gold‑plated contacts — is designed for high‑speed Ethernet connections in office, server room and data‑centre environments. The cable features copper conductors and a halogen‑free (LSZH) jacket. Shielding consists of foil around each twisted pair (PiMF) and an overall aluminium braid, providing reduced crosstalk and stable transmission suitable for Cat6a performance.

Advantages

The double shielding (S/FTP) reduces electromagnetic interference and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk, ensuring reliable signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and lower speeds. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact quality and corrosion resistance. A sturdy, halogen‑free sheath with bend protection increases mechanical durability while keeping smoke and toxic emissions low in case of fire. Latch protection on the RJ‑45 plugs helps prevent accidental damage during handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Backbone and horizontal cabling in office and data‑centre networks
• Connecting switches, patch panels and servers
• High‑speed Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbit/s and PoE/PoE+ devices
• Environments requiring low emission cable jackets (LSZH)

How to use

Route the 20 m CAT 6A S/FTP cable between network devices, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ‑45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp kinks and excessive bending; follow minimum bend radius recommendations from your network hardware manufacturer. For installations in racks or conduits, secure the cable without compressing the sheath to preserve shielding and performance. The cable is plug‑and‑play for standard Ethernet and PoE deployments.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distance limits for twisted‑pair Ethernet and separate data cables from strong electrical sources to minimize interference. When installing in shared pathways or near heavy equipment, verify shielding continuity at terminations and use properly grounded patch panels or connectors.
