Goobay CAT 5e Patch Cable F/UTP 90° Angled RJ-45 Black 1 m

The Goobay CAT 5e Patch Cable F/UTP 90° Angled RJ-45 Black 1 m is a prewired, shielded LAN cable designed to connect various network components such as routers, switches, and computers. Featuring a 90-degree angled RJ-45 connector on one end and a straight connector on the other, this 1-meter Ethernet cable provides a practical solution for setups in tight spaces where standard connectors might bend or fail. The F/UTP shielding uses a foil screen to prevent interference from external sources and minimize signal loss during data transmission.

Advantages

This CAT 5e patch cable ensures a stable and powerful network connection through high-quality copper-clad aluminium wire and gold-plated connector contacts. The integrated latch protection on the straight RJ45 plug prevents the locking tab from snagging or breaking off during installation or removal. Additionally, the cable features a twisted pair construction adhering to the EIA/TIA 568B standard, along with length indication on the overmoulded slimline strain relief for easy identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or laptop to a network switch in confined office spaces
• Linking a router to a wall socket behind furniture where clearance is limited
• Setting up home or small company Ethernet networks requiring reliable signal distribution

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for industrial environments that require heavy-duty armored cabling or resistance to extreme chemical exposure. Furthermore, the 1-meter length limits its use to connections where devices are located in close proximity to one another.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable shielding: F/UTP (FTP) with foil screen
• Conductor material: Copper-clad aluminium wire (CCA)
• Connector 1: RJ-45 male, 90-degree angled
• Connector 2: RJ-45 male, straight with latch protection
• Connector contact plating: Gold
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the 90-degree angled RJ-45 plug to the network port on your device where space is restricted, and insert the straight RJ-45 plug into the corresponding port on your router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure both plugs click firmly into place to secure the connection. The cable operates on a plug-and-play basis, requiring no additional software or configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 1-meter cable length is sufficient to bridge the distance between your networked devices
• Check that your equipment utilizes standard RJ-45 ports
• Confirm whether an angled connector is necessary for your specific spatial layout

Usage recommendations: Handle the cable with care by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling on the wire itself when disconnecting. Avoid sharp bends beyond the natural radius of the cable and keep it away from direct heat sources to maintain optimal network performance.
