UGREEN 80423 Cat7 F/FTP Ethernet Cable, 10 Gbps, 600 MHz, 2 m, Black

Overview

The UGREEN 80423 is a 2 m black Cat 7 Ethernet patch cable with RJ45 plugs, F/FTP shielding, 30 AWG pure copper conductors and gold-plated contacts. It links routers, switches, network-attached storage (NAS) units, PCs, consoles, smart TVs and network printers where a short, well-shielded link is needed, rated for up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz.

Is it right for you?

• Suits devices in the same rack or on the same desk, or near sources of electrical noise.
• Thin 30 AWG conductors suit patching rather than long runs.
• 10 Gbps needs 10 Gbps ports at both ends; on 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps ports it runs at that speed.

Key features

• Cat 7, rated up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz bandwidth.
• F/FTP double shielding: foil around each twisted pair plus an overall foil shield.
• 30 AWG pure copper conductors.
• Gold-plated 8-pin RJ45 contacts with anti-dust caps on the plugs.
• Backward compatible with Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 devices.

What else you need

• Two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports: a router, switch, PC, console, smart TV, NAS or similar.
• A laptop or tablet without an Ethernet port needs a USB or USB-C Ethernet adapter or dock; the cable does not add a port.
• 10 Gbps ports at both ends if you want 10 Gbps. Works with routers, modems, switches, patch panels, PCs, Raspberry Pi boards, PlayStation and Xbox consoles and TV boxes.

Installation

No tools, drivers or power supply are needed: push each plug into an RJ45 port until the latch clicks. Measure the route first, leave slack at both ends, avoid tight bends and keep the plugs where moving equipment cannot pull on them.

Before you buy

• Thin 30 AWG conductors: a patch cable, not a long-run cable.
• The ports at both ends set the speed.
