WENTRONIC Goobay Cat6A Patch Cable U/UTP, black, model 79232

WENTRONIC Goobay Cat6A Patch Cable U/UTP, black, model 79232 is an unshielded twisted pair network patch cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high‑speed LAN connections. The cable meets Cat6A performance expectations for reduced crosstalk and stable data transmission in typical home and office network environments. It is supplied in black and intended for patching switches, routers, servers and wall outlets where reliable copper cabling is required.

Advantages

The Cat6A U/UTP construction provides performance up to 10 Gbps over suitable channel lengths and reduces alien crosstalk compared to lower category cables, supporting high bandwidth applications. As an unshielded cable, it is flexible for routing in cable ducts, patch panels and everyday installations. The standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment and make it suitable for quick patching tasks in structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Patching switches, routers and network access points in LANs
• Connecting servers and NAS devices in small to medium-sized networks
• Linking wall outlets to patch panels in office or home structured cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as VoIP, video streaming and data transfer

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6A patch cable is not intended for environments with strong electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required. It is also not suitable as a permanent in-wall or outdoor cable unless installed according to local building codes and using cable types rated for in-wall or outdoor use.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (U/UTP, unshielded twisted pair)
• Data rate: designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: black
• Typical application: patching and short horizontal runs in LANs

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding network ports on switches, routers, servers or wall sockets. Ensure connectors click securely into place and avoid sharp bends or kinks near the termination points. For best performance, route the cable away from sources of electrical interference and avoid tight bundling with power lines. Use appropriate cable management such as patch panels and cable ties to maintain bend radius and neat installations.

What to consider before purchase

• Required channel length and whether a patch cable length meets your installation needs
• Whether unshielded cabling is acceptable for your environment or if shielded cable is needed
• Whether you need in-wall or outdoor rated cable for permanent installations

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6A U/UTP patch cable for short horizontal and patching applications within rack and office environments, maintain gentle bend radii, and keep it separate from strong electrical sources to ensure stable 10 Gigabit performance.
