Network Cable Goobay 65636 0.5m S/FTP Black

The Goobay 65636 0.5m S/FTP network cable is a short, shielded extension cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Constructed as S/FTP (overall braid shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs) and featuring pair in metal foil (PiMF) geometry, this 0.5 m cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining compact routing where a short patch lead is required. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for home or office installations and rack environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers improved protection against external noise and near‑end crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, making it suitable for installations near power lines, equipment, or multiple adjacent network runs. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes signal attenuation for short interconnects and keeps cabling tidy behind switches, patch panels, or workstations. The robust shielded connectors and PiMF design help preserve signal integrity for gigabit and multi‑gigabit Ethernet links.

Suitable for

• Extending or patching network ports in racks, switches, and patch panels
• Short interconnects between devices on a desk or in a server cabinet
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Applications requiring compact, low‑attenuation patch leads for high‑speed Ethernet

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (overall braid shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Pair geometry: PiMF (pairs in metal foil)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Black
• Suitable for: Gigabit and multi‑gigabit Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 terminated end of the Goobay 65636 cable to the network port of your source device (router, switch, or patch panel) and the other end to the target device (computer, server, or network appliance). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Use the short cable length to reduce cable clutter and avoid unnecessary bends or kinks that could stress the shield or conductors.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in direct contact with high‑power mains cables or near heavy machinery. Maintain gentle bend radii and do not subject the cable to repeated sharp flexing. Use shielded connectors and proper grounding in installations where shielding effectiveness is required to minimize interference and to preserve the cable's S/FTP performance characteristics.
