Goobay RJ45 Patch Cord Cat 6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz — Cat7 raw cable, grey, 7.5 m

The Goobay RJ45 Patch Cord Cat 6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz — Cat7 raw cable in grey, 7.5 m, is a prewired network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It combines a Cat7-class raw cable with Cat6A-rated RJ45 plugs, an S/FTP (PiMF) shielding structure and gold-plated contacts to deliver stable data transmission up to 10 000 Mbit/s and a bandwidth rating of 500 MHz at the connector interface. The cable features copper conductors and a halogen-free (LSZH) sheath for reduced emissions in case of fire and mechanical protection for everyday installation.

Advantages

This patch cord provides double shielding with foil around individual twisted pairs (pair in metal foil, PiMF) and an overall braided shield for improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a robust copper conductor ensure reliable electrical contact and low signal loss. The integrated latch protection and bend relief on the RJ45 plugs reduce the risk of connector damage and maintain connection integrity over repeated insertion cycles. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for connections between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices while supporting high data rates including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet where applicable.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in homes and offices
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels
• Server and workstation network links
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming and online gaming

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and insert the other end into the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure plugs are fully seated until the latch clicks into place; the integrated latch protection helps prevent accidental damage. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid pulling on the connector; the bend relief reduces stress but standard cable-handling best practices should be followed. For PoE applications, confirm that connected equipment supports the required PoE standard.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines and avoid tight bundled runs with power cables. Use the 7.5 m length to allow slack for rearrangements and maintain service loops near equipment. When installing in structured cabling, follow local cabling standards for separation, grounding and cable management to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal quality.
