Patch Cable GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP white 3 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, 1000 Mbit/s

GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP patch cable, 3 m long, with RJ‑45 plugs on both ends and gold‑plated contacts is designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections in home and office networks. The cable conforms to the Cat5e standard and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. SF/UTP (S‑FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for improved signal integrity, while high‑quality inner conductors and a robust outer sheath ensure stable performance and long service life.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP construction minimises crosstalk and external interference, helping to maintain consistent throughput at gigabit speeds. Gold‑plated contacts provide better corrosion resistance and stable contact performance over repeated insertions. A flexible yet durable jacket protects the inner conductors and simplifies routing through cable trays or behind furniture. The RJ‑45 connectors are precision‑crimped for secure fit and reliable electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between PCs, switches and routers
• Patch panels and wall outlets in home and office networks
• Connecting networked devices such as NAS, printers and smart TVs
• Short‑run cabling inside server racks or desktop installations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S‑FTP) — overall foil with individually screened pairs
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Contact plating: gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Conductor quality: high‑quality copper conductors (solid/stranded dependent on model)
• Outer sheath: flexible, durable PVC or similar material

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. For cabling through conduits or behind equipment, route the cable gently to avoid tight bends or kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables. If used in a rack or patch panel, label both ends to simplify future changes and troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT5e SF/UTP patch cable for short to medium runs where reduced interference and stable gigabit performance are required. Avoid routing alongside high‑voltage power lines and keep cable bends gentle. For permanent in‑wall installations or longer runs beyond recommended distances, consider appropriate in‑wall rated or higher‑category cabling.
