UGREEN 50185 2 m Flat Cat 6 U/UTP Ethernet Cable, 1 Gbps

Overview

The UGREEN 50185 is a 2 m flat Cat 6 Ethernet cable, about 7.5 mm wide and 2.1 mm thick, with pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. It routes neatly along walls and furniture to link a router, PC, TV or console at Gigabit speed, up to 1 Gbps.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a desk or TV unit within 2 m of the router or wall point where the cable should lie flat and out of sight.
• Pick a longer cable if the route goes round furniture; 2 m must reach with slack.
• Unshielded (U/UTP) and rated for 1 Gbps, not for faster multi-gigabit links or designs that require shielding.

Key features

• Cat 6, up to 1 Gbps and 250 MHz when the whole link supports it.
• Pure copper conductors, eight conductors in four twisted pairs, unshielded (U/UTP).
• RJ45 male plugs with eight gold-plated contacts, metal shells and moulded latch guards.
• Flat black cable, approximately 7.5 mm wide and 2.1 mm thick.
• Works without power, drivers or sign-in.

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.

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. Do not crease, crush or staple through the flat cable, and keep it out of door gaps, walking paths and from under furniture legs.

Before you buy

• No outdoor, direct-burial or in-wall rating is stated, so treat it as an indoor patch cable run in the open.
• No Power over Ethernet (PoE) class is stated.
• It is a passive cable: it does not create Wi-Fi, assign IP addresses or replace a router, modem, switch or network adapter, and it cannot make an internet plan faster than it is.
