Network cable GOOBAY 50144 Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) Grey, 1 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY 50144 is a 1 m Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and gold-plated contacts on the plugs to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. Designed for short patch connections, it supports standard Ethernet rates defined for Cat5e and provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its combined foil and braid shielding.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines an overall braid with individual foil shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference in congested cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable electrical contact and offer improved resistance to oxidation. Compact 1 m length makes the cable convenient for patch panels, switch-to-switch links, or device interconnections without excess cable slack. The flexible PVC jacket and accurately fitted plugs allow easy routing and secure connector insertion.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Home and small office Ethernet installations
• Connecting computers, printers, NAS devices and IP cameras at close range
• Environments where additional shielding against interference is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance for Ethernet networks
• Length: 1 metre
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall braid plus foil-wrapped pairs - S-FTP topology)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: flexible PVC
• Colour: grey

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short-distance connections such as from a switch to a patch panel or from a router to a nearby device. Avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and do not strain the cable; route it alongside furniture or through cable management channels to prevent damage. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference despite its shielding.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e SF/UTP patch cable for short links where space and neat routing matter. Verify device compatibility with CCA conductors if PoE (Power over Ethernet) is required; for higher PoE power delivery over longer runs, consider solid-copper cables rated for the intended power class. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt and ensure secure terminations to maintain reliable network performance.
