Goobay RJ45 Patch Cord CAT 6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz, CAT7 conductor, white, 0.25 m

Shielded Goobay RJ45 patch cord CAT 6A S/FTP (PiMF) 500 MHz with CAT7 conductor in white, 0.25 m. This compact prewired patch cable is designed for reliable, high-speed LAN connections between network devices, switches and patch panels. The cable combines a CAT7-grade copper conductor with S/FTP shielding (pair in metal foil plus overall braid) and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to support data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and frequencies up to 500 MHz while maintaining signal integrity in crowded cable environments.

Advantages

The double shielding—individual foil around each pair and an overall braid—reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, improving stability for high-bandwidth applications. Gold-plated contacts and a high-quality copper conductor ensure low contact resistance and long-term reliable connections. The short 0.25 m length and flexible jacket provide a neat, low-latency link for patch panels and closely spaced equipment, while latch protection and bend relief protect the plug and cable from mechanical strain.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server rooms and data cabinets
• Short interconnects between network devices in rack-mounted setups
• High-speed home or office LAN links where low latency and stable throughput are required
• Applications requiring shielded cabling to minimize EMI in dense installations

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding RJ45 ports of the devices you wish to connect, ensuring the latch clicks into place. Use this 0.25 m patch cord for short links between adjacent ports on switches, patch panels and network interfaces to minimize excess cable and maintain tidy cable management. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors; use the integrated bend protection to keep the cable within recommended bend radii. The shielded design requires proper termination of connected equipment and racks to benefit from the EMI protection.

Usage recommendations

Use this shielded CAT 6A S/FTP patch cord in environments where electromagnetic interference is present or where short, high-speed connections are needed. For optimal shielding performance, ensure that connected patch panels and equipment chassis provide a grounded shield termination. Do not exceed the recommended bend radius and avoid crushing the cable to preserve performance.
