Goobay CAT 6 Patch Cable U/UTP grey 2m RJ-45 Gold Plating

The Goobay CAT 6 Patch Cable U/UTP grey 2m RJ-45 Gold Plating is a 2-meter network patch cable intended for fast, reliable data transmission in home and office networks. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold plating to reduce contact corrosion and improve signal transfer. The cable is category 6 (CAT 6) and constructed as an unshielded U/UTP type suitable for typical Ethernet applications up to CAT 6 performance levels.

Advantages

The cable offers a balance of performance and durability through high-quality inner conductors, precise RJ-45 plugs and a robust grey sheath. Gold-plated contacts improve long-term electrical contact resistance. The 2 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices within the same room or between nearby network equipment without excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Wired Ethernet connections for network printers and NAS devices
• Short runs between wall outlets and desktop equipment
• Setting up temporary or permanent Ethernet links in workstations

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6 (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded, twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact finish: Gold plating on connector contacts
• Cable length: 2 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a router, switch or networked device and the other connector into the target device. Ensure each connector clicks into place to confirm a secure physical connection. For optimal signal quality, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electrical interference.

Recommendations

Use this CAT 6 patch cable for short to medium-length connections within the same room or nearby racks. For installations requiring additional protection from electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cable types; for longer runs, verify cable category and installation standards to maintain required network performance.
