Networking cable Delta Goobay 94164 Cat5e U/UTP RJ-45 to RJ-45 2 m White

Delta Goobay 94164 is a 2 m white Cat5e U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is designed for Ethernet networking and intended for short-run wired connections between routers, switches, patch panels and network devices in home or office environments. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair construction with pair sequencing according to EIA/TIA 568 and a molded slimline strain relief for improved handling and durability.

Advantages

The angled (90°) molded RJ-45 connector on one end reduces the required clearance behind devices and is suitable for tight installations such as 19" patch panels or wall-mounted sockets. The straight connector features latch protection to reduce the risk of the clip snagging or breaking. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium conductors with gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket with bend protection to provide reliable signal transmission and mechanical protection. Cat5e performance supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for typical LAN uses.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in small office or home LANs
• Short patch runs in 19" patch panels and dense rack installations
• Direct device-to-device connections where a 2 m cable length is appropriate
• Environments where a right-angle connector reduces cable strain or clearance needs

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e U/UTP cable is intended for short-distance LAN connections; it may not be appropriate for long runs where higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) or shielded cables are required for improved bandwidth, reduced crosstalk, or better EMI protection. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors rather than solid copper, which can be less desirable for certain PoE applications or very high-reliability installations.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Connector orientation: one straight plug with latch protection, one 90° right-angle plug
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket material: PVC with bend protection and slimline strain relief
• Standards: pair sequencing per EIA/TIA 568
• Performance: supports Ethernet speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Cat5e)
• Colour: white

How to use

Plug the straight RJ-45 connector into the network device or wall outlet and the right-angle connector into the rear of a switch, patch panel or router where space is limited. Ensure both ends are fully seated until the latch engages (the straight plug has latch protection to reduce breakage). Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks; use the built-in strain relief and the PVC jacket’s bend protection to maintain signal integrity. The cable is plug-and-play; no additional configuration is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 2 m is sufficient for the planned connection
• Whether Cat5e meets performance needs or a higher category (Cat6/Cat6a) is required
• Need for shielded cable versus unshielded (UTP) in environments with high electromagnetic interference
• Suitability of copper-clad aluminium conductors for your equipment and any PoE requirements
• Physical connector orientation — one end is right-angled for tight spaces

Usage recommendations

Use this Delta Goobay Cat5e cable for short, in-rack or in-wall patching where a 2 m length and a right-angle connector reduce strain and space requirements. Avoid excess bending near the connectors and do not use for runs that require higher-category performance or heavy-duty PoE without verifying compatibility with your devices.
