Networking Cable Goobay 96314 1m Cat6a U/UTP White

The Goobay 96314 1m Cat6a U/UTP White networking cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections where reliability and compact length are required. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, this cable supports high bandwidth and reduced crosstalk thanks to its U/UTP (unshielded/overall shield) design. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The white jacket provides a neutral, low-profile appearance suitable for visible installations in home and office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers a balance of performance and practicality. Its U/UTP construction minimizes external interference while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver reliable contact and lower contact resistance for consistent throughput. The 1 metre length reduces excess cable clutter and is ideal for short links between devices. The white outer jacket resists discoloration and blends with most interior settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a nearby network switch or router
• Short-run connections in server cabinets or patch panels
• Linking IP cameras, VoIP phones, or networked printers within 1 metre
• Home and office environments where a clean, low-visibility cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance level
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pairs with overall shielding)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contacts: Gold-plated for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Color: White
• Suitable for frequencies and data rates typical for Cat6a installations

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure both connected devices are powered on and configured for the intended network settings. For patch panel or switch installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the 1 metre length without stretching. If used in a rack or cabinet, secure the cable with appropriate ties or guides to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum recommendation and replace the cable if connectors show wear or if data errors increase. Use the 1m length for short connections where minimal excess cable is desired.
