## Summary description

Shielded Category 6A patch cable by WENTRONIC (Goobay), model 79242, with U/UTP construction in grey. Designed for 10GBASE‑T networks and high‑speed Ethernet applications, it provides enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk for reliable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in offices and data centers.

## Long description

The WENTRONIC Goobay Cat 6A patch cable U/UTP in grey is a shielded network cable designed for 10GBASE‑T and high‑speed Ethernet environments. Its U/UTP construction provides individual pair shielding within an overall unshielded jacket, supporting high bandwidth and reduced crosstalk for stable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in offices and data centres.
Advantages
This Cat 6A cable delivers consistent performance for 10 Gbit/s links over typical horizontal distances, with improved immunity to pair-to-pair interference compared with lower category cables. The cable’s construction supports reliable signal integrity in installations where multiple cables run in parallel, while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suited to many commercial and infrastructure environments.
Suitable for
10GBASE‑T Ethernet connections in small and medium data rooms
Structured cabling between patch panels, switches and wall outlets
High‑speed workstations, servers and networked storage access
Office environments where reduced crosstalk and stable throughput are required
When it may not be suitable
This U/UTP Cat 6A cable is not intended for environments that require full outer shielding for extreme electromagnetic interference; installations with heavy EMI may require F/FTP or S/FTP cable types. It is also not a fibre optic solution and therefore not suitable where optical transmission, longer distance links or immunity to electrical grounding issues are required.
Key specifications
Category: Cat 6A
Construction: U/UTP (unshielded overall jacket with individually shielded or unscreened pairs as specified)
Colour: grey
Bandwidth and speed: suitable for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over typical horizontal cable distances
Typical applications: patching between network equipment, structured cabling
How to use
Connect one RJ45 terminated end to a switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device or corresponding patch port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage. Keep cable runs within recommended horizontal distances for 10 Gbit/s performance and avoid severe bends or crushing. Route alongside tray or cable management to minimise mechanical stress and maintain separation from mains power where possible to reduce potential interference.
What to consider before purchase
Required link speed and whether 10 Gbit/s performance over the intended run length is needed
Environmental conditions and whether additional outer shielding is required for high EMI locations
Cable length and routing constraints, including bend radius and cable management compatibility
Usage recommendations
For best results, verify connector terminations and test each link with a cable tester supporting Cat 6A parameters after installation. Maintain separation from power cabling and avoid sharp bends or kinks; store and deploy cables according to manufacturer bend‑radius guidance to preserve 10G performance.
