Networking cable No name Goobay 94162 Cat5e U/UTP white 0.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45

The Networking cable No name Goobay 94162 Cat5e U/UTP white 0.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a short patch lead designed for compact network installations. It complies with Cat5e performance for Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps in short runs and uses an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, with one connector molded straight with a slimline strain relief and the other angled at 90° for tight spaces such as 19" patch panels or behind wall-mounted equipment.

Advantages

This Goobay Cat5e cable provides a space-saving connection thanks to its 0.5 m length and right-angle connector on one end, reducing stress on connectors in cramped installations. The molded connectors include strain relief to reduce bending and connector fatigue. Gold-plated contacts and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors offer reliable signal transmission for typical home and small office networks, while the PVC jacket provides exterior protection against wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in rack or wall-mounted setups
• Short patch runs between network devices in home or small office environments
• Spaces with limited clearance where a right-angle connector is required
• Temporary test and troubleshooting connections in networking environments

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Data rate: suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) in short runs
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male – RJ-45 male (one straight, one 90° angled)
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: white PVC with slimline strain relief on straight connector
• Wiring: pair sequence according to EIA/TIA 568
• Installation: plug-and-play, prewired

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network ports on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Use the right-angle end where clearance is limited to reduce cable stress and the straight end with strain relief for connections requiring visible length marking. No special tools or configuration are required; the cable is prewired for immediate use with standard Ethernet devices. Ensure both connected devices support Cat5e performance for optimal throughput.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension at the connector ends; keep the cable run short and free of heavy compression. Use this 0.5 m Cat5e patch cable for short, indoor connections between networking devices and not as in-wall or outdoor-rated cabling.
