Crossover Cable Goobay CAT 6-300 SSTP PIMF 3m

The Goobay CAT 6-300 SSTP PIMF Crossover Cable is a high-quality networking solution designed for direct device-to-device communication. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable facilitates high-speed data transmission while maintaining signal integrity through advanced shielding technology. It is engineered to meet the demands of modern network environments where reliable, interference-free connectivity is essential.

Advantages

This crossover cable offers superior performance due to its double-shielded twisted pair construction, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts ensures optimal conductivity and long-term durability, preventing corrosion over time. Furthermore, the molded strain relief design protects the cable from mechanical stress at the connection points, significantly extending its service life and ensuring a secure fit in various network ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting two computers directly without a network switch or hub
• Linking network devices such as routers or switches in specific legacy configurations
• High-speed data transfer in home or office network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specifically wired as a crossover cable. It is not suitable for standard connections between a computer and a modern network switch or router, as most contemporary hardware features auto-MDIX technology that renders crossover cables unnecessary or potentially incompatible for standard uplink tasks.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 meters
• Shielding: Double shielded twisted pair (SSTP/PIMF)
• Inner conductor: 4x2xAWG 27/7 copper
• Jacket material: PVC
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568
• Design: Molded with strain relief

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the network port of the second device. Ensure that both devices are powered on and configured to recognize the direct connection. The molded ends provide a tactile click when properly seated, ensuring a stable physical connection for data transfer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify if your devices require a crossover cable or a standard patch cable
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for the distance between your devices
• Check that your network ports support the RJ45 standard

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on the PVC jacket, as this can damage the internal copper conductors and shielding. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation.
