WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A U/UTP patch cable, ultraflexible, white, model 79227

WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A U/UTP patch cable, ultraflexible, white, model 79227 is a high‑performance network patch lead designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair. The unshielded (U/UTP) Cat 6A cable is built for short‑run patching in LANs, racks and wall outlets where flexibility and neat cable management matter. Its white jacket suits commercial and residential installations, allowing reliable data transmission for switches, patch panels and active network equipment.

Advantages

This Cat 6A patch cable offers enhanced performance for high‑speed networks while remaining ultraflexible for easy routing in confined spaces and dense patch panels. The cable construction supports improved alien crosstalk performance typical of Category 6A standards, enabling stable 10 Gbps links at distances commonly used in data center patching and office environments. The neutral white colour provides discreet integration into most installations and simplifies visual identification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and patch panels over short to moderate distances
• Patching in rack cabinets and network closets where flexible cable routing is required
• Office and residential wall‑outlet to switch connections where a white aesthetic is preferred
• Structured cabling extensions and LAN backbone patching within floors or rooms

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP cable is not intended for environments with a high level of electromagnetic interference (EMI) where shielded cable variants would be required. For outdoor, buried, or direct‑exposure installations, a cable with specific UV protection and outdoor rating should be chosen. Very long horizontal runs beyond typical patch lengths may require permanent link cabling with appropriate infrastructure considerations.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A (supports 10GBASE‑T)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall unshielded)
• Flexibility: ultraflexible design for tight bends and dense routing
• Colour: white
• Typical application: patching between network equipment, patch panels and wall outlets

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other plug to the patch panel or wall outlet. Route the ultraflexible cable carefully through cable managers or along rack sides, avoiding sharp kinks and excessive tensile force. For best performance keep cable length within recommended patch distances and avoid running unshielded cables parallel to heavy power lines to reduce potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required length and leave service slack for rack routing and reconfiguration
• Verify whether an unshielded cable is acceptable for your environment or if shielded cabling is needed
• Ensure colour, connector type and compatibility with existing patch panels or outlets

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, use this ultraflexible Cat 6A patch cable for intra-rack and rack-to-patch-panel connections, maintain recommended bend radii, and separate data cables from heavy power runs. Periodically inspect connectors for secure seating to preserve reliable 10 Gbps links.
