UGREEN 8 m Cat 6 U/UTP Lan Flat Cable, Black (50177)

Overview

The UGREEN 50177 is an 8 m flat Cat 6 Ethernet cable in black with RJ45 plugs at both ends. It runs along walls and under rugs to a PC, TV or console in another part of the home or office, with Gigabit Ethernet at up to 1000 Mbps.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a longer visible route where a round cable would show, such as along skirting boards to the far side of a room.
• Flat cable is not crush-proof: keep it out of door gaps, walking paths and from under moving furniture.
• 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.
• 26 AWG construction with four unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP).
• RJ45 connectors with corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts and moulded connector protection.
• Flat black profile that keeps runs neat where space is limited.

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. Test the link at the speed you want before hiding the cable along skirting boards or behind furniture.

Before you buy

• Throughput depends on the router, switch, network adapter, connected device, cable environment and internet service.
• U/UTP is unshielded: avoid close parallel runs beside strong power cables or other electrical-noise sources.
• Check the complete route before ordering and leave slack at both ends; do not pull it tight around corners.
