Ethernet patch cable Cat6 Goobay 1 m, S/FTP (PiMF), RJ-45 gold-plated contacts, grey

Goobay Cat6 Ethernet patch cable, 1 m long, with S/FTP (PiMF) shielding and RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for LAN connections, patch panels, switches and routers in home or office networks. The grey PVC jacket and slimline overmoulded strain relief provide flexibility and protection for everyday cabling needs.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) construction combines an overall foil and braid shield with individual foil shields around each twisted pair to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The cable's flexible PVC jacket and integrated bend protection reduce the risk of mechanical damage, while latch protection on the plugs helps prevent accidental detachment or breakage of the connector clip.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels or network switches
• Establishing Gigabit Ethernet links for data transfer and streaming
• Temporary or permanent LAN cabling in constrained or desk-level installations

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 1 m patch cable to link devices such as switches, routers, PCs or patch panels at short distances. Ensure ports are powered off or network activity is minimal when inserting or removing the cable to avoid data interruptions. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points to maintain signal quality and physical longevity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical devices that can generate interference. Use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections at short range (1 m) and replace if the jacket or connectors show visible wear. Match shielding and category level across connected components to maintain signal integrity.
