Networking Cable Goobay 50148 7m Cat5e SF/UTP Grey

The Goobay 50148 networking cable is a 7 m Cat5e SF/UTP cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. It uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors, a foil/shielded twisted pair and an overall UTP braid to reduce interference, and comes with RJ-45 plugs with gold plating for secure contact. The grey-sheathed cable is suitable for standard Ethernet connections and supports typical Cat5e network applications.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with SF/UTP shielding to improve signal stability in environments with moderate electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance. With a length of 7 m and a robust outer sheath, the cable provides flexibility for routing between devices while maintaining transmission quality. The use of copper-clad aluminium conductors offers a balance between conductivity and cost efficiency.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems in home networks
• Wired PC and workstation connections in offices
• Networked printers, NAS devices and smart home hubs

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e SF/UTP
• Length: 7 m
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Color: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch, PC or NAS) and the other end to the corresponding port of the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of excessive mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference when possible.

Recommendations

For installations exposed to strong interference or longer runs, consider using cables with solid copper conductors or a higher category (Cat6/Cat6a) to achieve improved performance and lower attenuation. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the sheath or plugs are compromised.
