UGREEN Cat 6 U/UTP Flat Ethernet Cable 0.5m (Black) — Gigabit Patch Lead

A 50cm flat Cat 6 patch lead from UGREEN for the short hops in a network: router to switch, modem to router, a console or TV box to the router beside it. UGREEN rates it at up to 1Gbps with 250MHz bandwidth, with four unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) and gold-plated RJ45 plugs at both ends.

What It Does Well

Both ends of the black UGREEN flat Cat 6 cable: clear RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts and UGREEN-branded boots

Gold-Plated RJ45 at Both Ends

Both ends carry a clear RJ45 male plug with gold-plated contacts, which UGREEN uses for a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection, and a black UGREEN boot. The cable is not directional: either end goes in either port.

Four Twisted Pairs, U/UTP

Inside the flat jacket sit four tightly twisted pairs. U/UTP means the pairs are unshielded and rely on the twist to cancel interference, which is how Cat 6 reaches 250MHz and Gigabit Ethernet in homes and offices.

Fits Every RJ45 Port

UGREEN's graphic lists the devices it links: routers, Wi-Fi routers, TV boxes, smart speakers, desktop PCs, laptops, a Nintendo Switch dock and a PlayStation 5. It works with Cat 6, 5e and 5 equipment; a laptop without an Ethernet port needs a USB-C Ethernet adapter.

FAQ

Product Questions & Store Policies

Is 0.5m long enough for my setup?
It is made for devices sitting next to each other, such as a modem and router, a router and switch, or a router and the console or TV box on the same shelf. For a room-to-room run, choose a longer cable.
Will I get 1Gbps with it?
The cable supports up to 1Gbps. You get that speed only when both connected ports are gigabit and your internet plan or local network allows it.
Does it work with my older Cat 5e router or switch?
Yes. Cat 6 is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 equipment; the link then runs at that equipment's own speed.
What does U/UTP mean?
No overall shield and no shielding on the pairs: the four pairs are unshielded and twisted, which is the normal construction for home and office Cat 6 patch cables.
