Network cable GOOBAY CAT 5-500 SFTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, green

GOOBAY CAT 5-500 SFTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, green is a 5-metre shielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable designed for Cat5/Cat5e network applications. The cable features RJ-45 plugs on both ends with molded strain relief and gold-plated contacts. Foil and braid screening reduce electromagnetic interference, while a standard pair sequence according to EIA/TIA 568B ensures correct wiring for typical wired LAN installations in home and small office environments.

Advantages

The double shielding (foil and braid) improves resistance to external interference and helps maintain signal integrity over the 5 m length. Molded connectors with strain relief protect the cable where it connects to devices, reducing the risk of damage from bending or pulling. Gold-plated contacts support reliable contact and corrosion resistance, and the RJ-45 latch protection reduces the chance of the clip snagging or breaking during installation and use. The cable is prewired for standard network setups and is suitable for common Ethernet speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to switches or routers in home and small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling of small networks
• Short runs between networked devices where reduced interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: shielded twisted pair (SFTP/SF/UTP) with foil and braid screening
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, molded with strain relief and latch protection
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Conductor material: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
• Colour: green
• Data rates supported: up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Cat5e performance)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the connector clicks into place and the molded strain relief is seated to avoid sharp bends near the connector. For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and keep it away from large sources of electrical interference where possible. The pair sequence follows EIA/TIA 568B, so it is compatible with standard network terminations and prewired ports.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short to medium-length fixed connections inside buildings. Avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions, direct sunlight or moisture. For installations requiring maximum copper conductance over longer distances, consider a cable with solid copper conductors rather than CCA.
