GOOBAY networking cable Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 10 m Black, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY networking cable Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 10 m Black, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts is a prewired Cat5e Ethernet cable with foil and braided shielding designed for reliable LAN and Ethernet connections. The 10 m black cable features RJ-45 plugs on both ends with gold-plated contacts and a slimline overmoulded strain relief that indicates the length. The conductors are copper-clad aluminium (CCA), and the cable uses an EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence and twisted pair construction suitable for home, office, and small network installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines a foil shield and an overall braided screen to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity across the 10 m run. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability, while the latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs reduces the risk of accidental damage during frequent plugging and unplugging. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is fitted with a strain relief that helps prevent connector and cable damage at the plug entry.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers, switches and NAS devices in home or small office networks
• Structured cabling where a shielded Cat5e cable is required to limit interference
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet runs up to 10 m between network components

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e

• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male on both ends
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: black
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
• Suitable for speeds: up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your router, switch, or network device and the other plug to the corresponding device port. Ensure the plug clicks into place to confirm a secure latch connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with excessive mechanical stress; the slimline strain relief at each connector helps reduce stress at the plug entry. For shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment as required by your local cabling standards.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or strong EMI sources. Use the cable for distances up to 10 m as specified and verify that connected devices support Gigabit Ethernet to achieve the highest data rates. Inspect plugs and strain reliefs periodically for wear if the cable is frequently unplugged and replugged.
