Networking cable CAT5e SFTP Goobay 30 m blue, model 50879

Shielded FTP (SFTP) Goobay CAT5e networking cable, 30 m in blue, offers a balanced solution for wired local area network connections. The cable supports CAT5e twisted-pair performance for data and voice transmission at typical CAT5e rates and includes foil and braid shielding around the pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference. The molded connectors with strain relief and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable plug-in connections for routers, switches, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

The SFTP construction combines foil and braided screening to improve resistance to external noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. Molded connector housings with integrated strain relief protect the RJ45 termination from bending stress and extend connector durability. Gold-plated contacts offer stable conductivity and corrosion resistance for consistent signal transfer. The 30 m length provides flexibility for longer runs inside homes, offices or server rooms while the blue outer sheath enables easy visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Wired home and small office LAN connections
• Patch leads between routers, switches and patch panels
• Structured cabling runs where shielding is required to limit EMI
• Voice-over-IP phone connections and multimedia streaming

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e (twisted pair)
• Shielding: foil and braid (SFTP)
• Length: 30 m
• Connector type: RJ45, molded with strain relief
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: blue

How to use

Route the cable along the intended path, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields where possible. Insert each RJ45 plug fully into the corresponding network device port until the latch clicks. For patching, ensure connectors are seated in routers, switches or patch panels and confirm link/activity LEDs on network equipment indicate a proper connection. If running the cable through walls or ceilings, follow local building codes and use appropriate cable management accessories to secure and protect the cable.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs under recommended maximum distances for Ethernet segments and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use shielded network ports and grounded patch panels when deploying SFTP cable in environments with significant electromagnetic interference to take full advantage of the foil and braid screening.
