Networking cable GOOBAY 50147 Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) grey, 5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY 50147 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and gold-plated contacts to improve contact quality and resistance to corrosion. With Cat5e performance and shielding consisting of a foil and braid, this grey cable is intended for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments, structured cabling and direct device linking.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines an overall foil with an additional braid to reduce electromagnetic interference from external sources and improve signal distribution. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and reduce the risk of oxidation. The cable features latch protection on the plugs and an overmoulded slimline strain relief with the length indicated, which helps protect the connector and cable entry against mechanical stress. The 5 m length provides flexibility for typical network setups without excess slack.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting PCs, routers and switches within a home or small office network
• Structured cabling runs where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Linking networked devices such as printers, NAS and media players
• Temporary or permanent desktop and patch panel connections up to 5 m

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your device and the other plug to the corresponding port on a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection and avoid excessive bending or kinking near the overmoulded strain relief. For best performance, maintain intact shielding and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for network links up to 5 m where Cat5e performance and improved shielding are adequate. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and do not subject the cable to sharp bends or prolonged mechanical strain to preserve signal quality and connector integrity.
