## Long description

GOOBAY 73079 is a 3 m Cat5e network patch cable in grey with F/UTP (FTP) foil shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for Ethernet connections up to the Cat5e standard, this cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and is suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in home and office installations. Gold-plated contact surfaces on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and maintain stable electrical contact.
Advantages
The foil shielding (F/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk from external sources, helping to preserve signal integrity over the cable run. Gold-plated contacts offer improved corrosion resistance and reliable mating with network ports. The cable is built with twisted-pair construction compatible with standard EIA/TIA wiring schemes and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet at Cat5e performance levels. The grey outer sheath provides a neutral appearance for professional and residential environments.
Suitable for
Connecting routers and switches in home and small office networks
Linking patch panels to network devices in structured cabling
Wiring desktop PCs, NAS devices and printers to a wired LAN
Temporary or permanent Ethernet connections where shielded cable is preferred
Key specifications
Cable length: 3 m
Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
Shielding: F/UTP (foil over twisted pairs)
Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, straight male
Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
Cable colour: grey
Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence
How to use
Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until a secure fit is achieved. Ensure the devices are powered off or network traffic is managed according to your installation procedures if required. For structured cabling, route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Verify network link status on connected devices and perform speed or continuity checks if necessary.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and heavy compression of the cable; keep runs within recommended lengths for Cat5e installations and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded equipment when deploying shielded cable in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
