Network patch cable GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF) grey 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold contacts, 1000 Mbit/s

GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF) grey 2 m patch cable with RJ-45 to RJ-45 connectors provides a shielded Ethernet connection designed for Gigabit networks. The cable supports the Cat6 standard and a data throughput up to 1000 Mbit/s. It features S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated contacts on both RJ-45 plugs to ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The 2 m length and grey jacket make it suitable for short runs between networking devices in home and office LAN setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) construction offers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables and electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors enhance conductivity and durability. The cable’s Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance, while the robust outer sheath protects inner conductors for long-term use. The 2 m length balances flexibility and minimal excess cable for tidy installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems in home and small office networks
• Linking PCs, NAS devices and game consoles to a LAN
• Patch panel to wall port or short trunk connections in wiring cabinets
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference due to S/FTP shielding

How to use

Ensure devices are powered off or in a safe state if required by your setup. Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (router, switch or PC) and the other RJ-45 connector into the target device. Confirm the connectors click into place to secure the connection. After connecting, power on devices or check network link LEDs to verify a physical connection. Configure network settings on your devices as needed for your LAN or DHCP environment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to power lines or mains cables for long distances. Use the 2 m length for short, tidy connections near networking equipment and consider strain relief at patch panels or device ports to prevent connector stress. The S/FTP shielding is beneficial in areas with multiple adjacent cables or electronic interference sources.
