Networking cable WENTRONIC Goobay 65644 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) 3 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 Black

WENTRONIC Goobay 65644 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) 3 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 Black is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for 10GBase‑T networks. With a 3 m length, gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors and S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk, supporting stable high‑speed 10 Gbps connections between network devices in home and small office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braided shield with individually shielded pairs to provide enhanced protection against external interference and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for long‑term signal integrity. The 3 m length offers flexibility for rack, desk or floor connections without excess slack, while the black outer jacket delivers standard mechanical protection and a discreet appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in 10GBase‑T Ethernet networks
• Linking servers and network storage devices requiring 10 Gbps throughput
• Patch connections between wall outlets and workstations
• Short rack or cabinet runs in data closets and small server rooms

Key specifications

• Cabling technology: 10GBase‑T (Cat6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, gold‑plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the destination port (switch, router, server or wall outlet). Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable within the minimum bend radius to maintain signal performance. For best results, deploy the cable away from high‑power electrical lines and sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium 10GBase‑T links where shielding is beneficial. For installations with multiple adjacent cables, keep cable runs organised and avoid tight bundling with unshielded power cords. Replace cables that show visible damage to the outer jacket or connectors to preserve network reliability.
