WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible Cat 6A U/UTP Patch Cable, white, model 79233

WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible Cat 6A U/UTP Patch Cable in white is a shielded-category cable designed for high-speed Ethernet networks. The cable supports 10 Gigabit data rates over Cat 6A wiring and features an ultraflexible jacket that eases routing and positioning in dense cabling environments. It is intended for use between patch panels, switches, routers and workstations in professional and home network installations where reliable, high-bandwidth connections are required.

Advantages

The ultraflexible design reduces strain on connectors and allows neat cable management in tight spaces. Support for Category 6A performance ensures stable transmission at 10 Gbps where infrastructure meets Cat 6A standards. The U/UTP construction combines an overall unshielded twisted-pair topology with manufacturing optimized to keep crosstalk and attenuation within Cat 6A parameters. The white jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with office and home environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in short to medium runs within racks or between nearby rooms
• Connections between patch panels, switches and routers in data closets and server rooms
• Workstation and desktop network connections where flexibility and tidy routing are needed
• Home networks requiring higher bandwidth for streaming, gaming and file transfer

When it may not be suitable

This cable follows U/UTP construction and does not include individual pair shielding; it may be less appropriate in environments with very high electromagnetic interference where shielded-pair or fully shielded cables are recommended. For long-distance backbone runs that exceed recommended Cat 6A limits, fiber-optic solutions or appropriately rated copper cabling should be considered.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A
• Topology: U/UTP (overall unshielded twisted pair)
• Performance: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Conductor type: stranded conductors for patch flexibility
• Jacket color: white
• Intended use: patch cable for racks, switches, routers and workstations

How to use

Connect one RJ45-ended cable plug to the port on your switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the corresponding device or jack. Keep cable bend radius within manufacturer recommendations to avoid performance degradation and avoid routing parallel to heavy power cables where possible. For best results, test links after installation with appropriate network testers to verify Cat 6A performance and 10 Gigabit link integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both endpoints and intermediate patching hardware support Cat 6A and 10 Gigabit speeds
• Check required cable length and plan for routing and bend radius in racks and conduits
• Assess electromagnetic environment—consider shielded options if strong interference is present

Usage recommendations

Use this ultraflexible Cat 6A patch cable for short to medium-length horizontal and patch connections where ease of routing and 10 Gigabit performance are required. Maintain proper bend radius, avoid tight staples or sharp edges, and validate installed links with a network tester to ensure expected throughput and signal integrity.
