## Long description

The Goobay 74242 networking cable is a super-slim Cat6a U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors and a length of 15 m.

The soft TPE outer jacket and flexible slim conductors increase handling ease and routing options. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance durability and stable data transfer, while Cat6a specification supports high-performance Ethernet applications.
