Networking cable GOOBAY CAT 5-1000 SFTP, 10.0 m, Magenta

GOOBAY CAT 5-1000 SFTP networking cable, 10.0 m in magenta, is a category 5 Ethernet patch cable designed for wired LAN connections up to 1000 Mbps. The cable uses a foil and braid screened twisted pair (SFTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and follows the EIA/TIA 568 pair sequence for straightforward termination and compatibility with standard network devices. The molded connectors include a slim line strain relief with length indication and gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable mating and stable signal transmission across the 10 m run.

Advantages

The SFTP shielding combines foil and braided screens for improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated contacts provide consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance over time. The molded connector with slim line strain relief reduces stress at the cable exit, minimising the risk of connector failure in patching applications. The magenta jacket makes the cable visually identifiable in cabling installations, helping with cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and network devices within home and small office networks
• Patching between patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, printers and IP cameras over a 10 m distance
• Cable runs where visible color coding simplifies identification and maintenance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 5 (suitable for up to 1000 Mbps Ethernet)
• Shielding: SFTP (foil + braided screen)
• Length: 10.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45, molded with strain relief
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568 compliant
• Jacket color: magenta

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or device until the latch clicks into place. Use the 10.0 m run to route between equipment racks, desks and wall outlets; secure the cable along its path using cable ties or clips to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress near the connector. When disconnecting, press the latch and pull the molded connector body, not the cable jacket, to avoid damaging the strain relief.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the SFTP cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Use the magenta color to separate network segments visually, and maintain proper grounding for shielded installations where required by the network environment.
