Goobay Cat5e F/UTP Network Cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 0.5 m, Black

The Goobay Cat5e F/UTP network cable is a reliable 0.5-meter patch cable designed for stable data transmission in local area networks. Featuring standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is engineered to connect computers, routers, switches, and other network peripherals with consistent signal quality. Its compact length makes it an ideal choice for organizing connections in tight spaces, such as server racks or desktop setups.

Advantages

This network cable utilizes F/UTP shielding, which incorporates a foil screen to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. This design ensures that data signals remain clear and stable, even in environments with multiple cables. The inclusion of latch protection on the connectors prevents accidental snagging or breakage, ensuring a secure physical connection. Furthermore, the cable is constructed with high-quality materials to provide a durable and long-lasting solution for your networking needs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or modems
• Linking network switches and patch panels
• Organizing connections in 19-inch server racks
• Short-distance networking in home or office environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking, as its 0.5-meter length limits its reach to devices located in immediate proximity to one another. Additionally, while it supports Cat5e standards, it may not be suitable for high-bandwidth applications requiring Cat6 or higher specifications in professional data center environments.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielded)
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 male
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568B
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your primary device, such as a router or switch, and the other end into the port of your target device, such as a computer or printer. The plug-and-play design ensures that the connection is established automatically without the need for additional configuration. Ensure that the connectors are fully inserted until you hear a click, confirming that the latch is engaged.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup.
• Ensure your devices utilize standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports.
• Consider if your network environment requires higher bandwidth standards than Cat5e.

Usage recommendations: To maintain optimal signal integrity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of it. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference.
