UGREEN NW106 11262 3 m Flat Cat 7 U/FTP Ethernet Cable, 10 Gbps

Overview

The UGREEN NW106 (11262) is a 3 m flat Cat 7 Ethernet patch cable, 2.1 mm thin, with U/FTP foil-shielded pairs, 32 AWG pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. It tucks under rugs and along skirting boards for tidy home and office links, rated for up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a desk, TV unit or console a few steps from the router where the cable should disappear along a wall or under a rug.
• Choose it for 10 Gbps links between 10 Gbps equipment, or any slower link where a flat, shielded cable is wanted.
• Flat cable is not crush-proof: keep it out of door gaps and walking paths.

Key features

• Cat 7, up to 10 Gbps and 600 MHz when the whole link supports it.
• U/FTP: each twisted pair is foil-shielded, with no overall cable screen.
• 32 AWG pure copper conductors, eight conductors in four twisted pairs.
• Gold-plated RJ45 male plugs with protective latch covers, wired to 568B.
• Flat black PVC cable, 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.
• 10 Gbps equipment 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

• U/FTP, not F/FTP: the pairs are foil-shielded but there is no overall screen.
• 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.
