Networking cable GOOBAY 93679 Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) 1 m RJ‑45 gold‑plated contacts

GOOBAY 93679 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) 1 m is a single‑meter Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed LAN connections. The cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and combines individually foil‑shielded wire pairs with an overall braided shield to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ‑45 plugs featuring gold‑plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance in server, switch and patch‑panel environments.

Advantages

The double shielding (S/FTP) offers improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded variants, while individually shielded pairs help limit alien crosstalk in dense cable installations. Gold‑plated contacts on the RJ‑45 connectors provide consistent contact quality and enhanced corrosion resistance. The cable construction includes robust conductors and a durable jacket with integrated bend protection and latch protection on the plugs, supporting long‑term mechanical stability and reliable plug retention.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, routers and servers
• Patch‑panel to switch or server connections in rack installations
• LAN setups where EMI protection and reduced crosstalk are required
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) devices such as access points and VoIP phones

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (aluminium foil around each pair + overall braided shield)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends, straight
• Contact plating: 3 µm gold plating on contacts
• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Length: 1 m
• Supports: Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+)
• Bend protection and latch protection on plugs

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices such as switches, routers or servers. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm secure latch engagement. For rack or patch‑panel installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the integrated bend protection helps maintain performance but standard cabling practices should be followed. The cable is ready for immediate use with devices supporting 10/100/1000/10000 Mbit/s and PoE/PoE+.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended channel lengths for structured cabling and avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines or near large sources of electromagnetic interference. Use shielded connectors and maintain proper grounding of connected equipment in installations that require EMI protection.
