UGREEN Cat 7 Flat Ethernet Cable, 10 Gbps 600 MHz Shielded LAN Cable, 2 m (11261)

Overview

The UGREEN 11261 is a 2 m black flat Cat 7 Ethernet cable with shielded pairs, pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. The thin, flat profile slips under rugs and carpets and runs along skirting boards and door frames, so it suits tidy desks, living rooms and offices where a round cable would show. It is rated for up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a PC or dock to a router, a console or smart TV to a switch, or patching 10 Gbps switches, network-attached storage (NAS) and network cards.
• Speed is set by the slowest port in the link; a 1 Gbps port stays at 1 Gbps with a Cat 7 cable.
• Avoid trapping the cable under heavy furniture legs or doors.

Key features

• Cat 7, up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz.
• Flat, thin and tangle-resistant profile.
• Shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and interference.
• Pure copper conductors.
• Gold-plated RJ45 plugs; backward compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e equipment.

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.
• 10 Gbps ports at both ends if you want 10 Gbps.

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

• Speed is set by the slowest port in the link.
• Laptops without an Ethernet port need a USB or USB-C Ethernet adapter.
• Do not trap the cable under heavy furniture legs or doors.
