Patch cable Cat6 Goobay S/FTP (PiMF) red 0.25 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

Goobay Cat6 patch cable, 0.25 m, S/FTP (PiMF) shielding in red is a short RJ-45 to RJ-45 Ethernet cable designed for local patching tasks. It supports the Cat6 standard with data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for improved signal transfer. The cable is intended for cramped installations, short links between switch and device or connections on patch panels where a compact, durable cable is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain stable data transmission in environments with nearby cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure reliable contact over repeated insertions. A robust PVC jacket and integrated bend relief protect the inner conductors, while latch protection on the RJ-45 plug reduces the risk of connector damage during handling.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and servers or network devices
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment in confined spaces
• Temporary or permanent point-to-point links within office or home networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (Pair in Metal Foil, overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.25 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Jacket material: PVC with integrated strain/bend relief
• Color: red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use this 0.25 m cable for direct short connections between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and networked equipment. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and make sure the strain relief seats against the port to minimize mechanical stress on the contacts and conductors.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from high-power electrical cables and strong electromagnetic sources. Use the cable for short link lengths as intended; for longer runs, select an appropriately rated Cat6 or higher-length cable. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and clean contacts with appropriate non-corrosive contact cleaner if necessary.
