Good Connections Cat. 5e F/UTP Patch Cable, White, 3m, 90° Down Angled RJ45 Connectors 805W-030WI

In a busy office or home network setup, cable routing can make or break the tidiness of your workspace. This Good Connections Cat. 5e patch cable solves a common headache: connecting devices in tight spaces where a straight connector would put stress on the port or block other connections. With both RJ45 plugs angled 90° downward, it hugs the back of a desk-mounted switch, a wall outlet behind a cabinet, or a floor-level patch panel, keeping the cable flat and out of the way. The 3-metre length gives you enough slack to reach from a wall socket to a PC under a desk without excess clutter.

Key specifications

• Category 5e performance, tested up to 100 MHz
• F/UTP shielding: overall foil wrap protects against electromagnetic interference
• Gigabit Ethernet ready – supports data rates up to 1 Gbps
• Two RJ45 male connectors, both angled 90° downward for low-profile routing
• Stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability
• Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure reliable signal transmission
• PVC jacket in clean white, easy to label or blend with light-coloured walls
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones
• Wired to TIA/EIA 568B standard, compatible with all Ethernet equipment

Why choose it

The angled connectors are the real standout here. They let you plug into ports that are close to a wall or another device without bending the cable sharply, which can degrade performance over time. The foil shielding adds a layer of protection against crosstalk and EMI, making this cable a solid choice for environments with lots of electronic noise – think server rooms, industrial settings, or even just a home office with a Wi-Fi router and multiple power bricks nearby. And because it's Cat 5e, you get full gigabit speed without paying for higher categories you might not need.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a PC or laptop to a wall outlet in a cramped corner
• Linking a switch to a patch panel in a shallow cabinet
• Running a cable from a floor box to a desk-mounted device
• Setting up PoE-powered devices like security cameras or access points
• Organising cables behind a TV or media centre where space is tight

Good to know

The downward angle is fixed at 90°, so check your port orientation before ordering – if you need an upward or sideways angle, this model won't fit. The cable is 3 metres long, which is ideal for most desk-to-wall runs but may be too short for large rooms. The white PVC jacket is not plenum-rated, so avoid running it through air-handling spaces. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong magnetic sources and avoid sharp bends. Each cable is individually tested to meet Cat 5e specifications, and the stranded conductors make it more flexible than solid-core cables, so it can handle frequent re-routing without breaking.
