Networking Cable Goobay 96418 Red 3 m Cat6 U/UTP

The Goobay 96418 Red 3 m Cat6 U/UTP networking cable is a 3-meter Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat6 performance requirements with U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall foil) construction. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable provides a reliable copper connection for data transmission between network devices. The red jacket helps visually identify connections in multi-cable installations and the 3 m length offers flexible placement of routers, switches and computers in home or office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP cable supports higher bandwidth and improved signal separation compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable gigabit and multi-gigabit connections where supported by network hardware. The RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation without special tools. The colored outer sheath simplifies cable management and fault finding in racks or patch panels, while the 3 m length balances reach and reduced excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and networked computers within homes and small offices
• Patch connections between wall outlets and network equipment
• Temporary network setups for testing or troubleshooting
• Audio/video streaming and online gaming where stable Ethernet is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor: copper; stranded or solid depending on variant
• Color: red outer jacket

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or network device and plug the other connector into the target device. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as power transformers or unshielded mains cables. If using patch panels or keystone jacks, verify that the cable type is compatible with the termination method.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 cable with gigabit-capable network equipment and maintain proper bend radius. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances. Label both ends if used in a structured cabling environment to simplify maintenance.
