UGREEN Cat 6 U/UTP Ethernet Cable, Gigabit LAN Patch Cable, Blue, 2 m (11202)

Overview

The UGREEN 11202 is a 2 m Cat 6 Ethernet patch cable in a blue jacket, with RJ45 plugs at both ends. It connects a desktop PC, laptop adapter, console, smart TV, streaming box, printer or network-attached storage (NAS) to a nearby router, wall plate or switch for Gigabit Ethernet, and in a small rack it patches between a switch, router and patch panel.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a desk or TV unit within 2 m of the router or wall point, and short patching in a cabinet.
• Blue tells this link apart from black cables in a switch or patch panel.
• It is unshielded (U/UTP). For runs near heavy electrical interference, or for 10 Gbps links, a shielded Cat 6A or Cat 7 cable suits better.

Key features

• Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP), built for Gigabit Ethernet.
• Standard RJ45 male plugs at both ends.
• 2 m length: long enough for a desk or TV unit, short enough to stay tidy.
• Blue jacket for colour-coding links.

What else you need

• Devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports: routers, modems, switches, PCs, laptops with an Ethernet adapter, consoles, printers and NAS devices.

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

• Unshielded: not the cable for runs beside heavy electrical interference or for 10 Gbps links.
• The ports at both ends set the actual speed.
