WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A U/UTP Patch Cable, Ultraflexible, Black (79193)

The WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A U/UTP Patch Cable in black is an ultraflexible shielded‑category network cable designed for high‑speed Ethernet connections. Engineered to meet Cat 6A performance, this cable supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over U/UTP wiring and is intended for use with patch panels, switches, routers and workstation connections where tight bends and flexible routing are needed.

Advantages

The ultraflexible construction allows easy routing in confined spaces and frequent reconfiguration without compromising cable integrity. The Cat 6A performance level ensures reduced crosstalk and support for higher bandwidths compared with lower category cables. A black jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for office and data‑center environments while helping to hide dirt and wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data center racks
• Workstation connections where mobility and flexible cable management are required
• High‑speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gigabit in short to medium runs
• Environments requiring tight bends and frequent cable re‑routing

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for U/UTP (unshielded pairs with overall jacket) installations; it may not be appropriate where individual pair shielding or full screening is required to meet EMC or industrial noise standards. For very long backbone runs or outdoor use, a different cable type rated for long distances or environmental exposure would be more suitable.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A
• Type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall jacket)
• Performance: Supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Construction: Ultraflexible design for tight bend radius and frequent handling
• Color: Black

How to use

Use the cable to connect network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. Ensure connectors are fully seated in RJ45 ports and avoid excessive pulling force during installation. Route the cable along rack channels or cable trays, taking advantage of its flexibility to follow bends and pass through confined spaces. For best signal integrity, avoid running parallel to high‑power electrical cables for extended distances.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required link speed and distance to ensure Cat 6A performance is needed
• Check whether U/UTP construction meets your shielding and EMC requirements
• Verify the needed cable length and available routing space for tight bends

Usage recommendations

For optimal results use this ultraflexible Cat 6A patch cable for short to medium internal patching runs in racks and workstations; maintain bend radii recommended by standard practice and separate from high‑voltage power lines to minimize interference.
