Network cable GOOBAY Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, grey

GOOBAY Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 network cable, 5 m, grey, is designed for high-performance Ethernet connections requiring improved shielding and reduced crosstalk. The cable uses double-screened twisted pair construction with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) screening and an outer braided shield, supporting Cat7 performance up to 600 MHz. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts and a molded slim-line strain relief with a length indication for easy identification.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and PIMF pair screening provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded or lesser-shielded cables. The slim-line molded connectors with strain relief ensure reliable termination and compatibility with patch panels and tightly spaced ports. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the grey outer jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home or office environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in home and office networks
• Server uplinks and rack-mounted equipment
• Switch-to-switch and router-to-switch patching
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7, tested up to 600 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil; pairs shielded with PIMF)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 m
• Pair sequence: wired according to EIA/TIA 568
• Strain relief: molded slim-line with length indication
• Outer colour: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of a network device and the other end to the corresponding port on a switch, router, server or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt; the molded strain relief helps prevent kinking near the connector. Use appropriate cable management such as cable ties or Velcro straps to avoid excessive bending or tension along the cable run. If routing through metal conduits or near power lines, keep separation distances to maintain signal integrity despite shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat7 S/FTP cable in combination with shielded network hardware and properly grounded racks or panels. Avoid tight bends (bend radius less than the cable diameter) and excessive pulling force when installing. For permanent structured cabling, verify installation practices and grounding to fully benefit from the cable’s shielding.
