Networking Cable Goobay 93752 Cat6 U/UTP 1m Grey

The Goobay SLIM networking cable is a 1 m Cat6 U/UTP patch cable designed for compact installations where space and airflow matter. With RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, the cable provides stable, high-speed data transmission for home and office networks while its slim profile helps reduce cable bulk in server racks, patch panels and other confined setups.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable thickness and clutter, improving airflow and cooling in rack-mounted equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure good conductivity and corrosion resistance for reliable connections. The Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and improved signal performance compared with lower categories.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and server racks with limited space
• Desktop and office network connections
• Home network setups requiring reliable Gigabit links
• Data centres and telecommunication cabinets where airflow is important

When it may not be suitable

This slim U/UTP cable is not intended for outdoor use or direct burial; it lacks weatherproofing and protective jackets required for exposed installations. For environments requiring shielded cables to reduce electromagnetic interference, a screened (STP/FTP) cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 1 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unscreened twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Typical use: Patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (switch, router, network card) and the other into the corresponding port on a patch panel, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the slim cable through cable organisers or tie points to keep runs neat and to maintain good airflow in racks or cabinets.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation and any routing needs
• Whether a shielded cable is needed in high-interference environments
• Outdoor or direct-burial requirements — choose suitable outdoor-rated cable if needed
• Compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet equipment

Usage recommendations

Use the slim Cat6 U/UTP cable for short to medium patch runs within racks, between switches and patch panels, or for tidy desk-to-switch connections to preserve airflow and maintain reliable Gigabit performance.
