No name Goobay 94172 networking cable Cat5e U/UTP (UTP) 2 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, black

Goobay 94172 patch cable, 2 m in length, conforms to the Cat5e standard and uses an unshielded U/UTP (UTP) twisted pair construction. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 male connectors — one straight and one 90° angled — to support Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance for home and office LANs. The cable is compact and black, designed for short runs, patch panels and installations where space is limited such as 19" patch panels.

Advantages

The combination of a 90° right-angle connector and a straight connector with molded slim-line strain relief makes routing in confined spaces easier while protecting the connector latches. The cable employs copper-clad aluminium conductors with gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket with bend protection to maintain a stable connection for standard Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Pair sequencing follows the EIA/TIA 568 standard and the product is plug-and-play for immediate deployment.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network devices in home or small office LANs
• Patch panels and short patch runs in racks and wall-mounted cabinets
• Installations with limited space where an angled connector prevents cable stress
• Temporary or fixed network links requiring Cat5e performance up to 1 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male on both ends (one straight, one 90° angled)
• Conductor: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568
• Jacket material: PVC with bend protection and molded strain relief
• Color: black
• Data rates: suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Installation: plug and play

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as PCs, switches or routers until the latch clicks. Use the angled connector where space is limited to reduce stress on the cable and the straight connector with the slim-line strain relief for standard ports and patch panels; the cable length is intended for short runs and in-rack connections. No additional configuration or tools are required for typical network setups.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain signal quality. For permanent infrastructure in high-noise environments or where higher performance is required, consider shielded cables or higher-category alternatives. Check connector orientation before insertion to prevent damage to the latch or port.
