WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible CAT 6A patch cable U/UTP, black, MPN 79229

The WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible CAT 6A patch cable U/UTP in black is designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks where flexibility and reliable signal transmission are required. The cable features an ultraflexible jacket that eases installation in patch panels, cable trays and confined spaces while supporting high-frequency performance required for modern data center, office and home network environments.

Advantages

This CAT 6A U/UTP patch cable provides the bandwidth and shielding arrangement suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter to medium distances. Its ultraflexible outer sheath simplifies routing through tight bends and dense cable management systems. The cable construction focuses on consistent signal integrity and reduced crosstalk at high frequencies, making it a practical choice for installations where both performance and ease of handling matter.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and short-run connections in data centers
• Office network patch panels and structured cabling systems
• Residential or small-business high-speed internet and LAN connections
• Environments requiring frequent cable handling or tight-radius routing

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP CAT 6A cable is not intended for outdoor burial or direct exposure to weather without appropriate conduit or protective sheathing. For long-distance backhaul runs beyond typical premises cabling limits, fiber-optic solutions are more appropriate. It also lacks individual pair shielding, so in environments with extreme electromagnetic interference additional screened cable types should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6A (10 Gigabit Ethernet capable)
• Conductor type: twisted pairs suitable for balanced transmission
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded, twisted pairs)
• Outer jacket: ultraflexible sheath designed for tight bends and easy routing
• Typical use: patch cable for structured cabling and network equipment interconnect
• Color: black

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug ends of the patch cable between networking devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays, taking advantage of the ultraflexible jacket to guide the cable through tight bends without excessive force. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain recommended bend radius for Cat 6A to preserve full 10 Gb/s performance. For permanent outdoor installations or Plenum spaces, use cable types rated for those environments.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and whether single-mode or multi-segment runs require different cabling methods
• Check whether screened cable is needed in high-EMI environments
• Verify connectors and device compatibility with CAT 6A performance
• Plan routing to avoid excessive bending and to maintain recommended installation practices

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this WENTRONIC Goobay ultraflexible CAT 6A patch cable for short to medium indoor connections where 10 Gigabit performance and flexible routing are required. Store and install the cable without sharp bends, and choose screened variants when operating near significant sources of electromagnetic interference.
