Network patch cable GOOBAY CAT 5e, F/UTP, 2x 90° RJ-45 connectors, 5 m, black

GOOBAY CAT 5e patch cable, 5 m length, F/UTP construction with foil shielding and two 90° RJ-45 connectors in black. The cable is designed to support Cat5e Ethernet networks, offering stable signal transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to the F/UTP shielding. Gold-plated contacts on the angled RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The compact 90° connector shape is intended for installations in tight spaces behind network equipment, switches, routers and patch panels.

Advantages

The GOOBAY CAT 5e cable combines foil-shielded conductor pairs with precisely fitted RJ-45 plugs to deliver consistent network performance. Its 5 m length provides flexibility for typical small-office or home installations while the 90° angled connectors reduce strain and enable neat routing in confined areas. Gold-plated contacts improve longevity and connection quality, and the black outer jacket offers discreet integration into most rack and home environments.

Suitable for

• Wiring between switches, routers and patch panels in server cabinets and racks
• Home and small office Ethernet connections where space behind devices is limited
• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones and networked printers to local network ports
• Temporary or permanent patching in network distribution frames

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance for Ethernet networks
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielding around pairs with unshielded overall jacket)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: Two RJ-45 plugs with 90° angled housing
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Colour: Black outer jacket

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Use the 90° angled connectors to route the cable parallel to device housings and minimise bending stress at the port. Avoid tight kinks and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Ethernet patch cords to preserve signal integrity. For installation in racks or panels, guide the cable through cable management channels or clips to prevent strain on the plugs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 5e F/UTP patch cable within typical Cat5e network distances and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. If you require higher bandwidth or PoE at elevated power levels, consider Cat6 or higher-category shielded cables. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts show visible damage.
