Networking Cable Goobay 55426 15m Cat6a U/UTP

The Goobay 55426 is a 15 m Cat6a networking cable with U/UTP construction, designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable wired connections. The cable uses copper conductors (CU) and LSZH halogen-free jacket for reduced smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The grey outer sheath provides a neutral appearance for home, office or data center installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a U/UTP cable supports high data rates and improved performance over standard Cat5e/Cat6 solutions while maintaining a flexible, easy-to-route design. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and long-term durability. The LSZH halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in enclosed spaces, and the copper conductor ensures consistent electrical performance.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet networks (10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 GBase-T where supported)
• Home networking and office LAN connections
• Patch panels, switches and routers in small server rooms or data cabinets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (router, switch or network card) and the other end to the corresponding port on the opposite device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a solid mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends, kinks or excessive tension to maintain signal integrity and avoid damage to the jacket or conductors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Use proper cable management (cable ties, trays or ducts) and keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines. Verify device compatibility for 10GBase-T where higher bandwidth is required; for typical gigabit networks the cable is suitable as provided.
