Καλώδιο patch δικτύου GEMBIRD Goobay 68342 Cat5e U/UTP γκρι 1 m RJ-45–RJ-45

GEMBIRD Goobay 68342 is a 1 m Cat5e network patch cable with U/UTP (unshielded) construction and a grey jacket. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 straight male connectors, making this cable suitable for direct Ethernet connections between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in home and office environments. The cable supports Cat5e performance and is designed to transmit signals at high speed while maintaining stable connectivity for typical wired local area network setups.

Advantages

The unshielded design and Cat5e specification enable reliable data transmission at Fast and Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. High-quality inner conductors and gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and consistent signal quality. The PVC outer jacket and integrated bend protection increase mechanical durability, while latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs reduces the risk of connector damage during insertion and removal. The cable’s length is marked on the overmoulded strain relief for easy identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to network endpoints
• Patch panel and wall outlet connections in office cabling
• Direct device-to-device links such as PC to network printer or NAS

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (U/UTP)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male – RJ-45 straight male
• Transmission speeds: up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
• Conductor material: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable to connect network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels or individual devices. Ensure ports are powered and network settings on connected devices are configured for the desired speed and duplex. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the overmoulded strain relief helps prevent damage at the connector ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for network segments up to the specified length and avoid running alongside high-voltage power cables to reduce interference. If you require shielding for environments with strong electromagnetic interference, consider a shielded cable variant. Regularly inspect connectors and the jacket for damage and replace the cable if wear compromises the connection.
