Patch Cable GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP orange 0.25 m RJ-45 gold contacts

GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP patch cable, 0.25 m in orange with RJ-45 gold-plated contacts, is designed for short-distance connections in screened network environments. The cable conforms to the Cat5e standard and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, combining a compact 0.25 m length with foil-and-braid (SF/UTP or S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 straight male connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable contact and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, enabling more stable signal transmission in environments with nearby electronic equipment or cabling. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve long-term conductivity and resistance to oxidation. The short 0.25 m length is practical for tidy patching inside network cabinets, switches, routers and patch panels where screened connections and minimal cable slack are required.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switch ports and patch panels in screened racks
• Connecting routers, switches or network interfaces in compact installations
• Situations where screened (SF/UTP) cable is required to limit EMI
• Organized cabling runs where minimal cable length reduces clutter

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (SF/UTP, also referred to as S-FTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: foil plus braid (screened twisted pair)
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA) core
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
• Colour: orange

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding RJ-45 ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels until the latch clicks into place. For screened installations, ensure the shielding continuity is maintained by connecting to devices or panels that support cable screening. Avoid tight bends near the connector and do not stretch the cable; the short 0.25 m length is intended for direct patching in close-proximity setups.

Usage recommendations

Use this GOOBAY CAT5e SF/UTP 0.25 m patch cable for tidy, screened connections inside network cabinets and between adjacent ports. For optimal shielding performance, connect to grounded, shield-compatible patch panels or devices and avoid routing the cable alongside high-power electrical lines.
