Network patch cable GOOBAY 94176 — Cat5e F/UTP (FTP), RJ-45 to RJ-45, 0.25 m, White

GOOBAY 94176 is a short, shielded Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for connections in confined spaces such as 19" patch panels, compact racks or close‑packed network devices. The cable features F/UTP (foil screened twisted pair) construction, gold‑plated RJ‑45 male connectors on both ends and a molded slimline strain relief with an angled connector to minimize bend radius and prevent connector latch damage. With a length of 0.25 m and pair sequencing according to EIA/TIA 568B, this patch lead provides a compact, shielded option for short Ethernet links.

Advantages

The foil screening reduces external electromagnetic interference and helps lower crosstalk in dense installations while the molded, slimline strain relief and right‑angle connector make the cable suitable for tight mounting situations. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability, and the prewired pair sequence ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet wiring schemes. The short 0.25 m length eliminates excess cable clutter in patch panels and behind network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices within 19" patch panels and server racks where space is limited
• Linking switches, routers or patch panels over a short distance
• Making tidy short connections between adjacent ports in dense network cabinets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e, F/UTP (foil screened twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
• Conductor type: copper‑clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contact plating: gold plated contacts
• Shielding: overall foil shield
• Strain relief: molded slimline with angled connector option
• Color: white

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector into the destination port. Ensure the angled connector is oriented to match the available space to avoid excessive bending. The cable is prewired and designed for plug‑and‑play operation; no additional configuration is required. Verify link LEDs on connected devices to confirm a successful physical connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this short, shielded Cat5e patch cable for intra‑rack or panel connections where minimal slack and reduced electromagnetic interference are important. Avoid sharp bends or crushing the cable and keep the foil shielded connector ends free from dust for optimal contact performance.
