Patch cable Goobay CAT 5e, 2 m, U/UTP, 2× RJ-45 90° angled, gold contacts, black

Goobay CAT 5e patch cable, 2 m length, U/UTP construction, designed for data transmission up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is terminated with two RJ-45 connectors in 90° angled housings and features gold‑plated contacts for improved contact reliability. The black PVC jacket and integrated bend protection provide mechanical robustness for everyday use in homes, offices and equipment racks where angled plugs are required for space-saving connections.

Advantages

This CAT 5e cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and uses an unshielded twisted pair design suitable for typical network environments. The 90° angled RJ-45 plugs reduce stress on connectors in tight spaces and behind furniture or patch panels. Gold-plated contacts and quality inner conductors ensure stable signal transfer and reliable contact resistance. The PVC sheath and bend protection help prevent breakage and extend service life in standard installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and networked devices in home or small office networks
• Patch connections in equipment racks, patch panels and wall outlets where space is limited
• Situations requiring angled RJ-45 plugs to avoid kinked cables or obstructed ports

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 angled connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are inserted fully until they engage. Route the cable so the 90° housings face the direction that minimises bending or pressure on the port. For best performance, avoid tight bends and do not place the cable under continuous mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT 5e U/UTP patch cable for standard Ethernet connections in environments without heavy electromagnetic interference. In installations with strong EMI sources or long runs, consider shielded cabling or higher category cables. Avoid repeated sharp bending near connector ends and ensure connectors are correctly seated to maintain stable Gigabit connections.
