Goobay CAT 6 patchkabel S/FTP (PiMF), 3 m, rood, RJ-45 naar RJ-45

Shielded Goobay CAT 6 patch cable S/FTP (PiMF) in red, 3 m long, designed for reliable gigabit Ethernet connections. This prewired cable features an S/FTP construction with an aluminum braid around the cable and foil shielding around each twisted pair (PiMF), reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 straight male connectors and aluminium/copper plated contacts to ensure consistent signal transmission for LAN patching, switches, routers and structured cabling in home or small business networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) shielding provides robust protection against external noise sources and improves signal integrity over the 3 m length. High-quality copper conductors and plated contacts offer stable data transfer and reduced attenuation. The cable jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability and resistance to wear, while connector latch protection reduces the risk of accidental damage during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in structured cabling
• LAN patching in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Gigabit Ethernet applications up to Cat6 performance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or network interface) and the other end to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to strong electromagnetic sources such as power cables to maintain optimal signal quality. For installations in rack systems, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results, use this CAT 6 S/FTP patch cable for short to medium-length patching within network cabinets, between wall outlets and devices, or for connecting end devices to switches. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for structured cabling and avoid excessive bending or twisting; follow PoE power budgets specified by your equipment when powering devices over the cable.
