Ethernet extension cable GOOBAY CAT5e F/UTP, RJ45–RJ45, gold contacts, 10 m, black

GOOBAY CAT5e F/UTP Ethernet extension cable, 10 m, provides a straightforward solution for extending wired network connections between routers, switches, PCs and other network devices in home or small office environments. The cable conforms to Cat5e standard for up to 100 Mbps networks, uses foil shielding (F/UTP) to reduce external interference, and is fitted with RJ45 plugs and gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The black PVC jacket and integrated strain reliefs protect the cable against mechanical stress while the prewired RJ45 male-to-male configuration simplifies installation.

Advantages

The GOOBAY extension cable combines a high-quality copper conductor with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable signal transmission and reduce connection losses. Foil shielding (F/UTP) helps prevent crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving overall signal integrity. The cable features latch protection on the RJ45 connectors and bend protection at the overmoulded slimline strain relief, increasing durability during daily use and repeated plug-ins. The 10 m length offers flexibility for device placement without requiring additional adapters or couplers.

Suitable for

• Extending wired Ethernet connections between router and PC or switch
• Connecting network devices in a home network or small office
• Temporary or permanent cable runs where a 10 m reach is required
• Setups requiring reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to foil shielding

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45, straight male-to-male
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Conductor material: copper (CU)
• Outer jacket: PVC, black
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B, 1:1 pinout

How to use

Insert one RJ45 plug into the Ethernet port of the source device (router, switch or modem) and the other RJ45 plug into the target device (PC, printer, or networked device). Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight kinks and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. The foil shielding reduces interference but it is still advisable to avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for standard 100 Mbps Ethernet links and in environments where foil shielding improves signal quality. Do not exceed typical installation bend radii and avoid crushing the cable. For gigabit (1000 Mbps) applications or longer runs, consider Cat5e certified patch panels and switches or upgrading to Cat6 if higher bandwidth or future-proofing is required.
