WENTRONIC Goobay CAT 6A patch cable S/FTP (PiMF), ultra-flexible, white, model 79250

WENTRONIC Goobay CAT 6A patch cable S/FTP (PiMF), ultra-flexible, white, model 79250 is a shielded network patch cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and installations that require strong protection against electromagnetic interference. The S/FTP (PiMF) construction provides individual foil shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield, reducing crosstalk and external noise. The ultra-flexible jacket and slim profile simplify routing through patch panels, cable management ducts and confined spaces while maintaining consistent signal performance.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP (PiMF) shielding topology ensures reliable signal integrity for high-speed data transmission up to CAT 6A standards, making it suitable for environments with dense cabling and potential EMI sources. Ultra-flexible jacket material improves bendability and handling during installation, reducing strain at connectors and easing routing in racks and underfloor channels. The white outer sheath offers a neutral appearance for office and data center environments and allows easy visual identification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections
• Office networks with dense patch panel installations
• Data centers and server rooms requiring EMI protection
• Connections in tight spaces or complex cable management runs

When it may not be suitable

This shielded CAT 6A cable is optimized for high-speed copper networks; it is not a substitute for fiber-optic links where greater distances and immunity to electrical interference are required. Very long horizontal runs beyond typical patch and equipment interconnect lengths may be better served by structured cabling permanently installed to standards rather than flexible patch cords.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (Pair in Metal Foil with overall braid)
• Performance: Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Construction: Ultra-flexible jacket for improved bend radius
• Color: White

How to use

Use this patch cable to connect network equipment such as switches, routers, servers and patch panels where CAT 6A performance and shielding are required. Insert RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports until the latch clicks and ensure cable routing avoids sharp bends and crushing points. For best performance, maintain recommended bend radii and avoid running the cable in direct contact with high-voltage power lines where possible. Verify link speed and negotiation on connected devices to confirm 10 Gigabit operation when applicable.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your patching or equipment connection
• Whether shielded cabling is necessary for your environment to mitigate EMI
• Compatibility with existing RJ45 connectors and patch panel density
• Preference for color and visibility in your installation

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit links, use this WENTRONIC Goobay CAT 6A S/FTP patch cable for short interconnects between active equipment and patch panels. Avoid excessive bending and secure cables with appropriate cable management accessories to preserve shielding effectiveness and mechanical life.
