Goobay RJ-45 CAT7 Network Cable 5m

The Goobay RJ-45 CAT7 5m networking cable is a 5-meter S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. It features pairs in metal foil (PIMF) and an outer braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable follows the EIA/TIA 568 pair sequence and comes with molded RJ-45 connectors that include slim-line strain relief and an integrated length indication.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction (pairs in metal foil with braided outer shield) provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference. Molded connectors with strain relief increase connector durability and reduce stress at the cable termination. Gold-plated 50 µ contact surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The slim-line design of the strain relief makes the cable suitable for use with patch panels and tight installations.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in home networks
• Office LANs and structured cabling
• High-speed connections for routers, switches and patch panels
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch, PC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-tension points; use the molded strain relief to reduce stress at the termination. Follow standard network installation practices and the EIA/TIA 568 wiring scheme when integrating into structured cabling.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines and maintain minimum bend radii. Use Cat7 cabling where higher shielding and bandwidth (up to 600 MHz) are required; for typical residential use Cat5e/Cat6 may suffice. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace any cable with visible damage to the sheath or shielding.
