Ethernet patch cable GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF), 1 m, yellow, RJ-45–RJ-45

GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP (PiMF) Ethernet patch cable, 1 m long in yellow, designed for reliable high‑speed data transmission between network devices. The prewired cable is fitted with RJ‑45 plugs on both ends and features high‑quality copper conductors and plated contacts to ensure stable signal transfer and reduced interference. The cable is suitable for home and office LAN setups and for connecting switches, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding combines an overall foil and braid with individually foil‑shielded wire pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold‑ or aluminium‑plated contacts and solid copper conductors provide consistent connectivity and low signal loss, while the sturdy jacket and bend protection increase mechanical durability. The RJ‑45 latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage when plugging and unplugging.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a LAN
• Patch panels and structured cabling in home or small office networks
• Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gbps environments within specified CAT6 limits
• Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) powered devices

When it may not be suitable

While the cable supports CAT6 performance and is suitable for many high‑speed applications, it may not be appropriate where guaranteed 10 Gbps performance is required over the maximum distances defined for higher CAT standards. For installations requiring flame‑retardant specifications beyond the standard jacket or longer runs, consider cables with specific fire ratings or higher CAT classes.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + braid, individual pair foil — PiMF)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight
• Conductors: copper
• Supports: 10/100/1000/10000 Mbit/s within CAT6 performance limits
• PoE and PoE+ compatible
• Colour: yellow

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect (for example, between a switch and a patch panel or a computer). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use the integrated bend protection and connector latch guard to reduce wear. For PoE applications, verify that both the power source and the powered device support the required PoE standard.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and routing constraints
• Needed category class (Cat6 suffices for most Gigabit setups; check distance limits for 10 Gbps)
• Whether shielded cable is necessary for environments with significant interference
• Colour preferences for cable management and identification

Recommendations

Use this GOOBAY CAT6 S/FTP patch cable for short connections within racks, between switches and patch panels, or to connect end devices in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable Gigabit performance are desired.
