Networking cable GOOBAY 95227-GB Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 2 m Orange

GOOBAY 95227-GB Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 2 m Orange is a 2 metre unshielded Ethernet patch cable designed for standard Cat5e networking. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair construction with pair sequencing according to EIA/TIA 568 and features molded RJ-45 plugs with slim line strain relief and an integrated length indication. Its orange jacket provides easy visual identification in patch panels and cable runs, making it suitable for structured cabling in homes, offices and small server rooms.

Advantages

The GOOBAY Cat5e U/UTP cable provides reliable connectivity for Fast Ethernet and basic Gigabit applications where Cat5e performance is sufficient. The unshielded design reduces cost and weight while the molded plugs with strain relief protect the conductor termination from bending stress. The standardized pair sequence ensures compatibility with common network equipment and the coloured jacket simplifies cable management and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and network interfaces
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels
• Desktop and office Ethernet connections
• Temporary and permanent cable runs where Cat5e performance is adequate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, molded
• Conductor arrangement: Unscreened twisted pair, pair sequence per EIA/TIA 568
• Strain relief: Slim line molded strain relief with length indication
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch, PC or patch panel and insert the other RJ-45 connector into the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and high-interference sources; the molded strain relief helps protect the connector area from mechanical stress. For patch panel installations, the slim line strain relief allows neat routing in dense panel environments.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and typical Gigabit Ethernet scenarios where Cat5e specifications are sufficient. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimise potential interference. For environments requiring shielded cabling or higher bandwidth (e.g., 10 Gbps over longer distances), consider upgrading to Cat6/Cat6a or shielded solutions.
