Goobay CAT 5e Patch Cable F/UTP RJ-45 White 2m 1000 Mbit/s

The Goobay CAT 5e Patch Cable F/UTP RJ-45 White 2m 1000 Mbit/s is designed to provide stable and efficient networking performance for both home and office environments. Measuring two meters in length, this white Ethernet cable ensures reliable wired connectivity between various network components such as computers, routers, switches, and patch panels. Built with attention to signal integrity, it features standardized twisted pair construction and protective shielding to minimize external interference.

Advantages

This network cable utilizes F/UTP foil shielding to protect data transmission from electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring consistent signal distribution with minimal loss. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts enhances conductivity and corrosion resistance for a dependable long-term connection. Additionally, the integrated latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents snagging and breaking during installation or disconnection, while the overmoulded slimline strain relief displays the cable length for quick identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to local area networks
• Linking network routers and switches in home offices
• Setting up Gigabit Ethernet connections supporting up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Routing network signals in confined spaces thanks to the flexible 2-meter length

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for industrial environments that require heavy-duty armored cabling or extreme temperature resistance. Additionally, the two-meter length is too short for long-distance runs between rooms or floors, where longer structural cabling or fiber optics would be necessary.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Cable shielding: F/UTP (FTP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Copper-clad aluminium wire (CCA)
• Color: White

How to use

To establish a network connection, plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device, such as a computer or printer, and insert the other RJ-45 connector into an available port on your router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure the plugs click securely into place. The integrated latch protection allows for easy uncoupling when maintenance or reconfiguration is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the two-meter length is sufficient for the distance between your networked devices
• Check that your network equipment utilizes standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports
• Assess whether F/UTP shielding meets your specific interference protection requirements

For optimal network performance, avoid sharply bending the cable or running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Ensure the connectors are kept clean and free from dust before insertion.
