Networking Cable Goobay 96400 Red 1m Cat6 U/UTP

The Goobay 96400 networking cable is a 1 meter Cat6 U/UTP patch cable in red with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this Cat6 cable supports enhanced performance for Ethernet networks while maintaining a compact length suitable for short runs between devices, patch panels, and wall outlets. The U/UTP design (unshielded twisted pairs with an overall unshielded jacket) reduces crosstalk between pairs and helps maintain signal integrity in typical office and home environments. The red jacket provides easy visual identification in cabling bundles and structured installations.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides reliable gigabit-capable performance for local networks, offering improved frequency response compared with lower-category cables. The RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, network interface cards and patch panels. Its 1 m length is convenient for tidy connections in racks, desks and patch bays where excess cable length should be avoided. The red color assists in organization and rapid identification of specific links during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet connections between devices (PC, switch, router)
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment
• Home and office network points where color-coded cabling is useful
• Temporary setups, test benches, and equipment swaps

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall unshielded)
• Color: Red
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the cable to the network port of your device and the other end to the corresponding port on a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and do not place the cable under sustained tension. If routing through cable management or trays, maintain gentle curves with a bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat6 U/UTP cable for short, color-coded connections in structured cabling systems. For environments with elevated electromagnetic interference or where shielded links are required, consider shielded cable types. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs are damaged to preserve signal quality.
