UGREEN 3 m Cat6 F/UTP Ethernet Extension Cable (11282)

Overview

The UGREEN 11282 is a 3 m Cat 6 Ethernet extension cable with a shielded RJ45 plug at one end and an RJ45 socket at the other. Plug your existing network cable into the socket and the link reaches 3 m further, so a router, PC or TV can move without replacing the cable or adding a separate coupler.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a cable that is just too short: a wall point to a desk that has moved, or a router shifted to a better shelf.
• It extends a standard male RJ45 patch cable; it does not join two sockets or two plugs.
• The whole link runs at the speed of its slowest part: the lowest-category cable, the slowest port and the total length. Up to 1 Gbps on a suitable complete channel.
• For a new run, a single cable of the right length is the cleaner choice; every extra junction adds contact points.

Key features

• Cat 6 with F/UTP shielding: an overall foil screen around unshielded twisted pairs.
• Eight 26 AWG stranded pure copper conductors in four twisted pairs.
• One shielded RJ45 male plug and one RJ45 female inline socket with gold-plated contacts.
• Round black PVC cable, approximately 6.2 mm.
• Carries Ethernet both ways and allows normal auto-negotiation; no driver or power needed.

What else you need

• An existing male RJ45 Ethernet patch cable with an undamaged latch and clean contacts, of a category suited to the speed you want.
• Devices with RJ45 ports: computers, docks, routers, switches, access points, smart TVs, consoles, media boxes or printers.

Installation

Push the existing cable’s plug into the socket until the latch clicks, then connect the other end as usual. Keep the socket where it will not be pulled or stepped on.

Before you buy

• It does not boost, repeat or clean the signal, and it does not add 3 m beyond the Ethernet channel length limit.
• It does not make a slower existing cable or port run at 1 Gbps, and it does not convert USB, telephone, fibre or coaxial connections to Ethernet.
• PoE use is not promised: no PoE class, wattage or installation rating is published.
• No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated, so treat it as an indoor patch cable run in the open.
• Stop using it if the socket housing, plug latch, jacket or strain relief cracks, loosens or gets unusually hot.
