Patch Cord Cat 6A S/FTP (PiMF) Goobay, Cat7 raw cable, 500 MHz, RJ45–RJ45, gold contacts, 2 m, orange

Patch Cord Cat 6A S/FTP (PiMF) Goobay, Cat7 raw cable, 500 MHz, RJ45–RJ45, gold contacts, 2 m, orange is a pre-terminated Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed LAN and structured cabling environments. The cable uses Cat7 raw cable construction with Cat6A termination, providing S/FTP (pair in metal foil) shielding for individual wire pairs and an overall braid, gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a 2 m orange jacket for easy identification. It supports network transmission up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat6A performance is required.

Advantages

The double-shielded S/FTP design reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts offer corrosion resistance and stable contact resistance, while the robust jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability for frequent moves or tight routing in racks and patch panels. The orange colour improves cable management and quick visual identification in dense installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in offices and data centres
• Server rack and patch panel interconnects
• Structured cabling and horizontal wiring
• Gaming consoles and media devices requiring low-latency wired links
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ45 connector at each end to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, network interface cards or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and heavy pinching; maintain bend radius guidelines typical for Cat6A/Cat7 cabling to preserve signal performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this patch cord in shielded installation environments and terminate both ends with compatible shielded RJ45 ports or patch panels to maintain the integrity of the S/FTP shielding. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep connections dry and free from corrosive environments.
