## Summary description

Goobay 68042 is a 0.5 m Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding for reduced interference. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The green cable is suitable for Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance, patch panels, switches and short in-rack connections where shielded cabling is required.

## Long description

GOOBAY 68042 is a 0.5 m Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The slim green cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transfer for Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance. This short, shielded patch cable is suitable for patch panels, switches and short in-rack connections where reduction of electromagnetic interference is required.
Advantages
The double-shielded SF/UTP construction combines an overall foil with a braided screen to reduce external interference and maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic noise. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance for stable connections. The cable includes a slim overmoulded strain relief with length marking and a latch protector on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of snagging or latch damage.
Suitable for
Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network sockets
In-rack Ethernet cabling where shielded connections are required
Small office or home network segments requiring Cat5e performance
Situations where reduced electromagnetic interference improves link stability
Key specifications

How to use
Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of a switch, patch panel or network device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run as short and direct as possible to reduce potential signal attenuation.
Usage recommendations
Use this 0.5 m Cat5e SF/UTP patch cable for short, shielded connections within racks or between closely located network components. Avoid routing the cable near high-power mains wiring or sources of strong electromagnetic interference whenever possible, and do not exceed recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.
