Network cable GOOBAY 96096 Cat6a U/UTP on reel, 100 m, blue

GOOBAY 96096 is a Cat6a U/UTP network cable supplied on a 100 m reel in blue. The unshielded twisted-pair design with solid copper conductors (AWG 23/1) and a halogen-free (LSZH) outer sheath is intended for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet links where Cat6a performance is required. The cable is delivered without pre-attached connectors, allowing custom termination for patch panels, keystone jacks or in-wall outlets.

Advantages

This network cable offers Cat6a performance for frequencies and data rates typical of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short and medium runs while remaining unshielded to simplify installation in standard environments. Solid copper AWG 23/1 conductors provide consistent signal transmission and reliable contact after termination. The LSZH outer sheath reduces halogen emission in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required. Supplied on a 100 m reel, the cable supports measured deployment lengths and custom connectorisation.

Suitable for

• Data centre horizontal cabling and rack-to-rack connections
• Office network installations and structured cabling
• In-wall installations and permanent link termination
• Patching and custom-length patch cable production

Key specifications

• Cable length: 100 m on reel
• Conductor material and type: Solid copper (CU), AWG 23/1
• Sheath material: Halogen-free (LSZH)
• Colour: Blue
• Connectors: No pre-attached connectors (sold separately, requires termination)

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 100 m reel, taking care to leave service loop allowance where necessary. Strip the outer sheath and prepare individual conductors according to the termination standard you intend to use (for example T568A or T568B). Terminate to RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or patch panels rated for Cat6a performance, following correct pairing and twist preservation practices to maintain signal integrity. After termination, test each link with an appropriate cable tester to verify continuity and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid running the cable in close parallel to power lines and maintain recommended bend radii during installation. Use appropriate cable management and shielding in mixed-environment installations if external interference is a concern. Choose compatible Cat6a-rated connectors and patch panels, and verify end-to-end performance with a certified tester when installing for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
