Verkko-patch-kaapeli Goobay CAT5e, 2x 90° kulma RJ-45, U/UTP, 5 m, musta

Goobay CAT5e patch cable, 2x 90° angled RJ-45 connectors, U/UTP, 5 m, black. This prewired network cable is designed for reliable Ethernet connections in environments where space is limited. The cable supports the Cat5e standard and data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated contacts and precisely fitted RJ-45 plugs ensure consistent contact quality, while the black PVC jacket provides mechanical protection for everyday use.

Advantages

The two 90° angled RJ-45 connectors reduce strain at connection points and allow installation close to walls, behind furniture, or in patch panels with limited clearance. The unshielded U/UTP construction and standard pair sequence (EIA/TIA 568B) make it compatible with common home and office network equipment such as routers, switches and wall outlets. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desktop or rack connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or wall outlets in small spaces
• Linking PCs or network devices where straight plugs would not fit
• Patch connections in home networks and small office setups
• Applications requiring Cat5e performance up to 1000 Mbit/s

When it may not be suitable

The cable is unshielded (U/UTP), so it is not intended for environments with strong electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are recommended. It uses standard Cat5e performance; it does not provide Cat6/Cat6a data rates or future-proof bandwidth for demanding professional applications that require higher-speeds or lower latency.

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (U/UTP)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with 2x 90° angled plugs
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Pair sequence: EIA/TIA 568B
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 angled plug firmly into the corresponding network port on your router, switch, PC or wall outlet until it clicks. The 90° angled plugs are oriented to sit flush against surfaces; align the cable as needed to avoid bending the connector excessively. For best performance, avoid tight bends within the first few centimetres of the connector and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat5e performance meets your required network speed and bandwidth needs.
• Check that 5 m length is suitable for your installation and routing path.
• Ensure angled RJ-45 plugs match the orientation and clearance of your ports.
• Consider using shielded cable if the installation site has significant electrical interference.

Recommendations

Use the cable where space constraints require angled connectors and where Cat5e performance is sufficient. Avoid pulling the cable at sharp angles near the connector and route it to minimise mechanical stress for a reliable, long-lasting connection.
