WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A Ultraflexible Patch Cable S/FTP (PiMF), black, model 79419

WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A Ultraflexible Patch Cable S/FTP (PiMF), black, model 79419 is a shielded high‑performance patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and demanding LAN connections. The cable features individually shielded pairs (pair in metal foil, PiMF) plus an overall braid (S/FTP) to reduce crosstalk and increase immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its ultraflexible construction allows routing in confined spaces and repeated flexing where frequent handling or tight bends are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding topology provides robust protection against alien crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity for high‑speed data transfer. Ultraflexible conductor and jacket materials make the cable easy to route through patch panels, cable trays and cable ducts while supporting frequent reconfiguration. The cable is suitable for installations that require both high bandwidth and mechanical flexibility without compromising category‑rated performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data centre patching
• High‑speed home networks and multimedia streaming setups
• Patch panels, switches and routers where tight cable management is needed
• Environments with potential EMI where individual pair shielding improves reliability

When it may not be suitable

This shielded, ultraflexible CAT6A cable is designed for high‑speed copper Ethernet links; it is not a substitute for fiber optic cabling where very long distance or immunity to electrical ground differences is required. If an installation requires plenum‑rated or specific flame‑retardant certification beyond standard jackets, verify compliance with local fire codes since jacket material and ratings are not specified here.

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6A performance for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP with pair in metal foil (PiMF) and overall braided shield
• Conductor flexibility: ultraflexible design for tight routing and frequent handling
• Color: black

How to use

Terminate the cable with compatible RJ‑45 connectors or use preterminated ends as supplied. Route the cable following good cable management practices: avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress, secure with appropriate ties or guides, and maintain separation from strong EMI sources where possible. For best performance, use within channel lengths and patching architectures that meet Category 6A installation standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required channel length and whether shielded cable is needed for your environment
• Confirm compatibility with existing connectors, patch panels and grounding practices for shielded cabling
• Check if specific fire or plenum ratings are required by local installation regulations
• Ensure the ultraflexible construction fits routing and handling needs in your setup

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this S/FTP CAT6A cable in shielded installations with proper grounding of patch panels and equipment. Maintain recommended bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force during installation. Pair with Category 6A‑rated connectors and structured cabling components to preserve 10 Gigabit performance.
