Netwerkkabel GOOBAY 68338 RJ-45 Cat5e U/UTP 0,5 m groen

The GOOBAY 68338 RJ-45 Cat5e U/UTP 0.5 m networking cable is a short patch lead designed for connecting network devices within compact setups. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and Cat5e specification, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet speeds while its unshielded/untwisted-pair (U/UTP) construction provides standard protection against crosstalk in typical office and home environments. The half-metre length and green jacket make it practical for linking devices in confined racks, patch panels, or desktop arrangements where a neat, visible connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat5e rating enables gigabit Ethernet performance for data, voice and basic video applications across local networks. Short length reduces signal loss and clutter, making cable management simpler in dense installations. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. The coloured insulation helps identify connections quickly in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Patching between patch panel and switch in small racks
• Connecting desktop PCs, printers or access points to nearby network ports
• Tidy, short-distance links in home offices and workstations
• Temporary or permanent connections where a 0.5 m cable is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Colour: Green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks into place. Use the cable to connect devices such as switches, routers, network cards, printers or patch panel ports. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends near the connector and keep the cable untangled. Ensure both connected devices are configured for the intended network speed and duplex settings if manual configuration is required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 0.5 m Cat5e cable for short runs only; for longer distances or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider a higher category cable or shielded alternatives. Keep the cable routed away from power lines and strong sources of interference, and label both ends if used within multi-cable installations for easier maintenance.
