## Summary description

Goobay CAT 5e crossover patch cable, U/UTP (unshielded), 5 m length with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. Supports Cat5e standard and data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Designed for direct device-to-device connections, network testing, temporary links and small office/home Ethernet setups.

## Long description

Goobay CAT 5e crossover patch cable, U/UTP, 5 m in grey-green, provides a direct Ethernet connection between two network devices without an intervening switch or hub. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts and is built to the Cat5e standard, enabling data transmission up to 1000 Mbit/s for typical Ethernet applications. Its crossover wiring makes it suitable for device-to-device links, network diagnostics and temporary or compact installations in home and small office environments.
Advantages
The unshielded U/UTP construction offers flexible handling and ease of installation in confined spaces. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for short to medium runs while the crossover wiring eliminates the need for intermediary network equipment when connecting compatible devices directly.
Suitable for
 Direct connection between two computers or networking devices
 Network testing and diagnostic setups
 Temporary links during installation or reconfiguration
 Small office and home Ethernet connections where crossover wiring is required
Key specifications
 Cable category: Cat5e
 Topology: Crossover wiring
 Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, no overall braid)
 Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate runs)
 Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
 Length: 5 m
 Colour: Grey and green
How to use
Inspect both RJ-45 connectors and device ports for damage or debris before connecting. Plug one end into the Ethernet port of the first device and the other end into the Ethernet port of the second device. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to communicate directly; in many cases you may need to verify network settings such as IP addressing or enable auto MDI/MDIX on modern network interfaces. For network testing, connect the cable between test equipment and the device under test and run appropriate diagnostics.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as high-power motors or fluorescent ballast. Replace the cable if connectors become loose or contacts appear corroded. Use a straight-through Cat5e or Cat6 cable instead of a crossover cable when connecting devices through a switch or when devices support auto MDI/MDIX.
