Network cable GOOBAY Cat5e U/UTP white 0.5 m with RJ-45 gold-plated contacts

GOOBAY Cat5e U/UTP patch cable, 0.5 m, white, with RJ-45 gold-plated contacts on both ends. This short, unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable follows the Cat5e standard and the EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence, providing a compact, plug-and-play connection for Fast Ethernet and short-run Gigabit LAN links. The cable is fitted with molded, 90° right-angle RJ-45 plugs with slimline strain relief designed for installations where space is limited, such as 19" patch panels, router ports close to walls, or tightly packed switch rows.

Advantages

The compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal degradation in short patching scenarios. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The molded angled plugs and slimline strain relief minimize stress on connectors and allow neat routing in confined spaces. The PVC jacket and bend protection increase mechanical durability during installation and everyday use. The cable is prewired for immediate use and compatible with common network equipment supporting Cat5e performance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch and patch panel in 19" racks
• Connecting router or modem to wall outlet where ports are close to a surface
• Home and small office LAN segments requiring tidy cable management
• Temporary test setups and network troubleshooting where short leads are preferred

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding RJ-45 port on network devices until the connector seats firmly. Use the right-angle orientation to align the cable parallel to the device body or panel for space-saving routing. The cable is prewired for plug-and-play use and requires no special tools for standard connections. Avoid sharp bends near the molded strain relief and do not pinch the cable under heavy objects to maintain performance.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e U/UTP cable for short interconnects inside racks, behind wall-mounted equipment, and between closely positioned devices. For longer runs or environments with strong electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cables or higher-category cabling appropriate for the installation.
