## Summary description

GOOBAY 68031 is a 0.5 m red Cat5e networking patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Suitable for Ethernet up to Cat5e speeds, patch panels, switches, routers and short in-rack or desk connections where screened protection is required.

## Long description

GOOBAY 68031 is a 0.5 m red Cat5e networking patch 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 ensure corrosion resistance and stable signal transfer. Designed for short connections such as patch panels, switches, routers and desk or in-rack links, this Cat5e cable supports Ethernet speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s while the combined foil and braid shielding reduces interference from external sources.
Advantages
The double-shielded SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction offers improved protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference compared with unshielded cables, contributing to fewer transmission errors in environments with potential noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion and provide reliable contact over repeated insertions. The prewired cable comes with slimline overmoulded strain relief and a latch protection feature that reduces the risk of connector damage during frequent handling.
Suitable for
Short Ethernet patch connections in server racks and network cabinets
Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or home networks
Desk-level connections between PCs and network sockets
Environments where screened cable protection is needed to reduce interference
Key specifications
Cable category: Cat5e
Shielding: SF/UTP (foil + braid around all pairs, overall screen)
Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
Length: 0.5 m
Data rates: supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
Cable construction: twisted pair
Color: red
How to use
Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and insert the other end into the corresponding device or wall socket. Ensure the latch clicks into place on both ends to secure the connection. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the connector to preserve the integrity of the strain relief and shielding. For best performance, keep the cable run short and separate from power lines or heavy electrical interference sources.
Usage recommendations
Use this cable for short-range, shielded Ethernet links where improved interference protection is required. Verify device compatibility with Cat5e and note that CCA conductors may have different electrical characteristics compared to pure copper; for long runs or mission-critical installations consider using full copper cables.
