Network patch cable Delta Goobay CAT5e 2 m, U/UTP, 2×90° angled RJ-45, white

Delta Goobay CAT5e 2 m patch cable in white is an unshielded U/UTP Ethernet cable designed for standard wired network connections. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and is fitted with two 90° angled RJ‑45 male plugs with gold‑plated contacts. It is intended for use where space is limited behind devices or patch panels and supports Ethernet speeds up to Gigabit class when used within CAT5e performance limits.

Advantages

The 2 m length provides flexibility for short runs between routers, switches and wall outlets while the 90° angled RJ‑45 plugs reduce strain and save space in confined installations. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The cable features a durable PVC jacket and bend protection that reduce mechanical stress on the conductor cores. As a prewired, plug‑and‑play solution, it requires no additional termination.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to wall ports in home or small office networks
• Patch panels and network cabinets where angled plugs help reduce cable protrusion
• Desk setups with limited clearance behind network devices
• Temporary or permanent short cable runs in multimedia or AV installations

When it may not be suitable

This CAT5e cable uses copper‑clad aluminium (CCA) conductors rather than solid copper; in some high‑demand environments or longer runs this can lead to higher attenuation and lower mechanical robustness compared with pure copper cables. It is unshielded (U/UTP) and therefore provides no protection against strong electromagnetic interference; shielded cables may be preferable in industrial or high‑EMI environments.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e (U/UTP)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor type: copper‑clad aluminium (CCA)
• Connectors: 2 × RJ‑45 angled 90° (male, 8P8C) with gold‑plated contacts
• Color: White
• Wire pair standard: EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (within CAT5e limits)
• Jacket: PVC with bend protection
• Plug style: prewired, plug‑and‑play

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 angled plug firmly into the corresponding network ports of your devices (router, switch, wall outlet or patch panel) until you feel the connector seat. The angled design allows placement close to walls or inside cabinets without bending the cable sharply. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible 8P8C sockets using the EIA/TIA 568B wiring convention. No additional tools or termination are required; verify link status on your devices to confirm connection and speed.

What to consider before purchase

• Conductor material is CCA, not solid copper; check compatibility and performance requirements for your setup
• Unshielded design (U/UTP) means limited protection against electromagnetic interference
• Angled RJ‑45 plugs reduce clearance but may not fit every recessed port orientation—verify connector fit with your equipment
• Length is 2 m; measure required run to avoid excess cable or insufficient reach

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short, space‑constrained network connections in homes and offices. Avoid routing near heavy electrical equipment or strong EMI sources. For longer runs, high‑interference environments, or mission‑critical links, consider selecting solid copper or shielded cable types.
