Network patch cable GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF), 3 m, yellow, RJ-45–RJ-45

GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, 3 m, yellow, terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, is designed for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet connections in homes and offices. The cable features individual aluminium foil shielding around each twisted pair (PiMF) plus an overall aluminium braid shield (S/FTP), reducing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference to maintain stable high-speed data transmission. Gold-plated/aluminium-copper contacts and high-quality copper conductors ensure reliable connectivity for network patch panels, switches, routers and end devices supporting Ethernet and Power over Ethernet.

Advantages

This CAT6 cable supports high data rates and is suitable for standard Ethernet classes up to the Cat6 specification, enabling reliable 10/100/1000 Mbps and higher operation where supported. The combination of per-pair foil and overall braid shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential EMI. Robust outer jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability while latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs reduces the chance of connector damage during installation and use.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels in LANs
• Wiring desktop PCs, IP phones, network printers and NAS devices
• Environments requiring reduced crosstalk and improved EMI protection
• Setups using Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) for cameras or access points

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield + per-pair aluminium foil, PiMF)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male
• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Contact plating: aluminium/copper plated contacts with gold plating on contact surfaces
• Color: yellow
• Supports: Gigabit Ethernet and suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)
• Mechanical protection: integrated bend protection and reinforced jacket

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable to connect switches, routers, patch panels and networked equipment, ensuring connectors are fully seated to maintain optimal contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing; the integrated bend protection helps maintain performance but standard cable-handling precautions should be observed. For PoE applications, confirm that connected devices and power sources comply with PoE specifications.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within its 3 m length limit and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. In areas with significant electromagnetic interference, maintain correct grounding of network equipment and consider shielded patch panels and connectors matched to the cable’s S/FTP construction.
