WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible Cat6A S/FTP (PiMF) Patch Cable, white, model 79360

The WENTRONIC Goobay Ultraflexible Cat6A S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable in white (model 79360) is a shielded network cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments where high data rates, reduced interference and tight bending radii are required. The cable uses S/FTP shielding with a pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) design to provide protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for installations in patch panels, switches, routers and confined pathways.

Advantages

This ultraflexible Cat6A cable combines high transmission performance for 10 Gbps networks with a flexible jacket that simplifies routing in constrained spaces. The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding improves signal integrity and reduces susceptibility to external noise sources, making it suitable for professional network environments. The white jacket offers a discreet appearance in office or residential installations and the cable is intended for reliable patching between active equipment.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and servers in data closets and server rooms
• Connections to patch panels and wall outlets where flexibility is required
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high-bandwidth network segments
• Runs with tight bends or where frequent reconfiguration is expected

When it may not be suitable

This cable is optimized for short to medium patching applications and structured cabling within racks and equipment rooms. It is not intended as outdoor-rated or direct-burial cabling and may lack the UV resistance, gel filling or armoring required for permanent external installations. For long-distance backbone runs or environments that demand plenum-rated or specialized fire-retardant jackets, choose a cable that explicitly meets those standards.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF)
• Conductor type: stranded for enhanced flexibility
• Color: white jacket
• Typical use: patch cable for switches, routers, patch panels

How to use

Route the patch cable between the network ports of switches, routers, servers or patch panels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Ensure connectors are fully seated in RJ45 ports; do not compress or kink the cable. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to keep runs neat and avoid strain on connectors. When connecting 10 Gigabit equipment, verify link speed and duplex settings on devices after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and whether stranded ultraflexible construction suits your installation
• Verify the need for shielded S/FTP cable in your environment to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Check whether a specific jacket rating (plenum, LSZH, outdoor) is required for your installation site
• Ensure connectors and patch panels support Cat6A performance for 10 Gbps links

Usage recommendations

Use this ultraflexible Cat6A S/FTP cable for short patch runs and equipment interconnects where flexibility and shielding matter most. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid tight kinks, and secure runs with appropriate cable management to preserve performance at 10 Gigabit speeds.
