Network cable GOOBAY CAT 5e F/UTP patch cable RJ-45 to RJ-45 10 m Grey

GOOBAY CAT 5e F/UTP patch cable RJ-45 to RJ-45 10 m Grey is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections in home and office environments. The 10 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or through cable management paths. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and reduced corrosion, while the F/UTP shielding (foil around all pairs with unshielded twisted pairs) reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission at standard CAT5e performance levels.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5e specification with F/UTP shielding to deliver improved resistance to external electrical noise compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby power lines or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs promote durable, low-resistance connections. The 10 m length and neutral grey jacket support tidy installations and compatibility with patch panels, switches and routers.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers and networked devices to routers and switches
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office racks
• Home network cabling where EMI protection is desired
• Temporary or permanent wired links across rooms up to 10 m

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e
• Shielding type: F/UTP (foil around all pairs, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Grey
• Suitable data rates: up to 1000 Mbps in typical CAT5e deployments

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Insert one RJ-45 plug into the network port of your device and the other into the router, switch or patch panel socket until the plug locks. For installations through cable conduits or panels, ensure the connectors remain accessible or use appropriate patch panel ports. Test the connection using device network diagnostics or a link-status indicator on your network equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly bending the cable near the connectors and keep it separated from mains power cables to reduce interference. In installations that require grounding of shielded cables, follow your network equipment and local electrical safety guidelines to ensure the shield is properly terminated where applicable.
