Network cable GOOBAY CAT 5e patch cable RJ-45 F/UTP 0.5 m grey

GOOBAY CAT 5e patch cable, 0.5 m length, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and F/UTP shielding. Designed for short, reliable connections in local networks, this straight-through cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology and data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The compact 0.5 m length and grey jacket make it suitable for tidy patching between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in racks or desktop environments.

Advantages

The GOOBAY CAT 5e patch cable offers F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference for improved signal integrity in crowded cable environments. Its RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports, while the CAT5e specification supports gigabit Ethernet speeds for typical office and home network applications. The short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and signal attenuation on short links.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in network racks
• Linking routers or modems to nearby network devices
• Short connections between PCs, NAS devices and switches
• Patching within network cabinets and desktop setups

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect, ensuring a firm click on both ends. Use the cable for straight-through connections between network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and end devices. Avoid tight bending or kinking of the cable near the connector to preserve shielding and conductivity. Route the cable through cable management channels or tie points to keep the installation neat and reduce mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 5e patch cable for short links up to 0.5 m where gigabit speeds are required. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid sharp bends. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the connector latch or shielding is compromised.
