Goobay 68671 Network Cable Black 3 m Cat5e SF/UTP

The Goobay 68671 networking cable is a 3 m Cat5e SF/UTP patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in home and small office networks. It features copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors, SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts for consistent connectivity. The cable's black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance while meeting Cat5e performance requirements for Ethernet connections.

Advantages

This Cat5e SF/UTP cable combines cost-efficient copper-clad aluminium conductors with foil and overall braid shielding to limit crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. With a 3 m length, the cable is convenient for connecting devices across desks, workstations, or between wall outlets and switches.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance (1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX network segments depending on installation)
• Connecting PCs, routers, switches, NAS devices and network printers
• Short to medium cable runs in homes, small offices, and workstations

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices (for example, computer to router or switch). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance. For permanent installations, verify that shield terminations are properly connected to grounded equipment where applicable.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for short to medium-length Ethernet links where reduced interference is needed; for maximum performance in high-demand or longer runs, consider higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) with solid copper conductors.
