## Long description

The Goobay 74238 networking cable is a 3 m Cat6a U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts. Its super-slim design with extra-short connector housings reduces cable bulk in server racks and patch panels, improving airflow and reducing heat build-up compared with conventional cables. The cable uses slim copper conductors and a soft TPE jacket for flexibility and space-saving routing in home or office networks.
Advantages
The slim Cat6a construction and shortened connector housings minimize material volume and allow neater cable management. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The TPE jacket offers flexibility for tight bends and neat routing while maintaining the mechanical protection expected from a networking cable. Supports Gigabit Ethernet over 10/100/1000Base-T(X) links.
Suitable for
 Connecting computers, routers and switches in home and office networks
 Patch panels and server cabinet installations where reduced cable bulk is required
 High-density cabling runs that need improved airflow and reduced heat build-up

How to use
Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (computer, router, switch) and the other into the corresponding port on the opposite device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; the slim design eases installation in confined spaces and high-density panels.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, use this Cat6a cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections and keep cable lengths within recommended limits for structured cabling. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.
