Networking Cable Goobay 55408 Black 2m Cat6a U/UTP

The Goobay 55408 Black 2m Cat6a U/UTP networking cable by WENTRONIC is a shielded Ethernet cable designed to support high-speed data transmission. With Cat6a performance and U/UTP construction, it is suited for modern network environments that require increased bandwidth and reduced interference. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to maintain stable conductivity and minimize signal loss. Its 2-meter length and black jacket make it practical for desk, rack, and office installations where a discreet, reliable connection is needed.

Advantages

The Cat6a specification provides improved frequency handling and supports higher data rates compared with lower-category cables, enabling reliable Gigabit and multi-Gigabit connections. The U/UTP (shielded overall, unshielded pairs) structure offers additional protection against external electromagnetic interference while keeping flexibility and ease of installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact durability and corrosion resistance for consistent signal transfer over time. The 2 m length provides a balance between reach and minimal cable clutter in typical home and office layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and network devices in home or office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, large file transfer and video conferencing
• Network patching in server rooms, racks and wall outlets where a 2 m cable is appropriate
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall shielded, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Black
• Conductor arrangement: Twisted pair
• Intended use: Ethernet networking up to multi-Gigabit speeds where Cat6a performance is required

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of your network device (for example a computer, switch or router) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a reliable physical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain separation from strong sources of electromagnetic noise such as power transformers or fluorescent lighting to preserve signal quality. For fixed installations, use appropriate cable management such as clips or cable ties to keep runs tidy and reduce strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its length rating and avoid kinking or stretching. When installing in environments with significant electromagnetic interference, verify system performance and consider additional shielding at connection points if required. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt or corrosion and clean contacts with suitable tools if network issues arise.
