UGREEN 50187 Cat6 Flat Ethernet Cable, Gigabit, Pure Copper, 5 m

Overview

The UGREEN 50187 is a 5 m flat Cat 6 Ethernet cable with pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. The flat profile runs neatly along walls and under rugs to a PC, PS5, Xbox, smart TV or laptop, with Gigabit Ethernet at up to 1000 Mbps.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a visible route across a living room or office where a round cable would show: along skirting boards, under a rug, behind a desk.
• Pure copper conductors, for anyone avoiding copper-clad aluminium cable.
• Flat cable is not crush-proof: not for door gaps, walking paths or under furniture legs.
• Unshielded (U/UTP) and rated for 1000 Mbps, not for faster multi-gigabit links.

Key features

• Cat 6, up to 1000 Mbps and 250 MHz channel bandwidth.
• Pure copper conductors to reduce resistance and signal loss.
• Four twisted pairs to manage crosstalk, unshielded (U/UTP), in a black flat jacket.
• Eight gold-plated RJ45 contacts.
• Reinforced metal connector housings protect the plug area in everyday use.

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

• U/UTP is unshielded: avoid close parallel runs beside strong power cables or other electrical-noise sources.
• Throughput depends on the slowest port or device in the path and on the internet service.
