Patch Cable GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP, RJ-45–RJ-45, 10 m, white, gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP patch cable, 10 m long, with RJ-45 plugs on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable conforms to the Cat5e standard and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s for wired Ethernet connections. Double shielding (foil + braid) reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over the full 10 m length. The overmoulded slimline strain relief and latch protection on the plugs provide secure seating and reduce mechanical stress at the connector.

Advantages

Double shielding (S-FTP / SF/UTP) offers improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, which is beneficial in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts enhance corrosion resistance and reliable contact over time. The cable construction with twisted pairs and precisely moulded RJ-45 plugs ensures a stable connection suitable for home and office networks. The 10 m length gives flexibility for routing between devices without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to routers or switches
• Linking switches and patch panels in small office or home network installations
• Wired connections for streaming, online meetings and file transfers requiring stable Gigabit-capable links

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the RJ-45 ports of your network devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends and avoid placing it parallel to power cables for long runs to reduce potential interference. For switch-to-switch or device-to-router connections, verify the link lights on the devices to confirm an active connection. If needed, remove tension from the cable using the strain relief area and avoid pulling on the cable jacket when unplugging.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable where enhanced shielding is required, for example near power supplies, fluorescent lighting or other sources of electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations in high-interference environments, consider using shielded connectors and ensuring proper grounding of the network infrastructure. For general home and office use, keep cable runs within recommended lengths and avoid excessive bending to preserve performance.
