GoodConnections Cat. 5e F/UTP Patch Cable, 2m, Black, 90° to Straight RJ45 805S-020EWI

In a crowded network cabinet or behind a wall-mounted TV, a standard patch cable often gets bent at sharp angles, risking damage and signal loss. This 2-metre GoodConnections Cat. 5e patch cable solves that with a 90° angled RJ45 connector on one end—latch positioned on top for secure, low-profile connections—and a straight connector on the other. The black F/UTP shielding guards against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 100 MHz. Ideal for tight spaces, structured cabling, and professional installations where reliability matters.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 5e (Class D)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foiled twisted pair)
• Connectors: 1x 90° angled RJ45 (latch top), 1x straight RJ45
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: Black
• Data rate: up to 1 Gbps
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Conductor: Stranded copper, 8 wires (4 pairs)
• Wiring: TIA/EIA-568B

Why choose it

The 90° connector reduces strain on the cable and port, preventing damage in confined installations. F/UTP shielding provides superior protection against crosstalk and EMI compared to unshielded cables, making it suitable for electrically noisy environments. Stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for easy routing, while the 2-metre length covers most patch panel-to-device connections without excess slack.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting devices in wall outlets or floor boxes where space is limited
• Patch panels and switches in high-density racks
• Desktop connections behind monitors or under desks
• Home theatre and gaming setups with tight clearance
• Industrial or office environments with potential interference

Good to know

This cable is backward compatible with Cat. 5 and Cat. 3 networks, and it meets TIA/EIA-568B wiring standards. The latch on the angled connector is positioned on top, which may be important for certain port orientations. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling during installation.
