Networking Cable Goobay 95281-GB Purple 5m Cat5e U/UTP

The Goobay 95281-GB is a 5 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. It uses unscreened twisted pairs with pair-sequence compliant to EIA/TIA‑568 and features gold‑plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The cable comes in a purple jacket and has a molded slimline strain relief with integrated length indication, suitable for patch panels.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a standardized pair sequence (EIA/TIA‑568) and unscreened twisted pair construction (U/UTP) for common Ethernet applications. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The molded slimline strain relief reduces connector stress and is compatible with patch panel ports, while the length marking on the relief helps quick identification during installation.

Suitable for

• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Patch panels and network switches
• Connecting computers, printers and other network devices
• Structured cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unscreened)
• Connector: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA‑568
• Contacts: Gold plated
• Strain relief: Molded slimline with length indication
• Color: Purple

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into the corresponding ports on your network devices (router, switch, patch panel or NIC). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable management accessories if needed. Verify network link status on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for typical Ethernet links up to 1 Gbps where Cat5e performance suffices. Avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines to reduce interference. For environments requiring additional shielding or higher throughput, consider Cat6/Cat6a or shielded variants.
