WENTRONIC Goobay U/UTP Cat 6A patch cable, ultraflexible, white

The WENTRONIC Goobay U/UTP Cat 6A patch cable in white is an ultraflexible network cable engineered for high-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. With unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction meeting Cat 6A performance, this patch cable is intended for short link runs, patch panels and routed connections within racks where flexibility and a discreet appearance matter. The white outer jacket blends into office and data-center environments while the cable's flexibility simplifies installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

The ultraflexible design reduces bend strain and allows neat routing through patch panels, cable managers and tight spaces. Cat 6A performance supports high data rates up to 10 Gbps over short distances, and the U/UTP construction provides consistent pair geometry for reliable signal transmission. The white jacket offers a neutral, professional look that is suitable for visible installations in offices and server rooms.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data centers and wiring closets
• Short horizontal links and workstation connections where flexibility is needed
• Environments requiring a discreet white cable appearance (offices, meeting rooms)
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP Cat 6A patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs where shielded or higher-grade cabling and different installation practices may be required. It may also be unsuitable in environments with strong external electromagnetic interference where shielded cable types would provide better protection.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A (U/UTP)
• Intended data rates: up to 10 Gbps (for appropriate link lengths)
• Construction: ultraflexible conductor and jacket for tight routing
• Jacket color: white
• Typical applications: patching, short link runs, rack and panel routing

How to use

Route the WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A patch cable between network equipment ports, patch panels and wall outlets as required. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's minimum bend radius and secure the cable in cable managers or ties that do not compress the jacket. Test each connection with appropriate network testers after installation to verify continuity and performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length and whether a patch cable is suitable for the intended run
• Whether unshielded (U/UTP) construction is acceptable given the electromagnetic environment
• Compatibility of connector types and port layout on your equipment
• Needed data rate and supported distance for 10 Gbps operation

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this ultraflexible Cat 6A patch cable for short patching runs and within racks or cabinets. Maintain gentle bends, avoid cable kinks, and keep unshielded cables separated from heavy power lines or strong sources of interference. Verify link performance with a certified tester if 10 Gbps operation is required.
