Networking cable LogiLink CU0402 RJ-45 Cat6 2 m Black

The LogiLink USB-CAT6-LAN adapter cable (USB 3.0 A/M to RJ45/M) provides a direct Ethernet connection for USB-A devices that lack an onboard RJ45 port. The active cable integrates the necessary chipset in the USB-A plug to deliver up to 1 Gbps data transfer without additional drivers. The 2 m cable features foil shielding (FTP) and a textile outer sheath, and uses robust metal plugs with bend protection. The USB-A interface is compatible with Windows, macOS and Android devices and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Note: not suitable for game consoles.

Advantages

The integrated chipset eliminates the need for a separate USB-to-LAN adapter and enables plug-and-play operation at Gigabit speeds. Foil shielding (FTP) reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable transfers. A textile sheath improves abrasion resistance and handling, while nickel-plated metal plugs with bend protection increase durability. The cable’s 2 m length provides flexible placement of devices and network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC, laptop or tablet with USB-A port to a router, modem or network switch
• Use in home and small office networks requiring Gigabit Ethernet
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups where no onboard RJ45 is available

Key specifications

• Product name: LogiLink USB-CAT6-LAN (USB 3.0 A/M to RJ45/M)
• Data rate: up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable standard/shielding: Cat6, FTP (foil shielding)
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: black/grey (textile sheath)

• Compatibility: Windows, macOS, Android; backwards compatible with USB 2.0

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug to your router, modem or network switch and insert the USB-A plug into the USB-A port of your PC, laptop or tablet. The adapter’s onboard chipset provides driverless operation in most environments; allow the operating system to recognise and configure the network interface if prompted. Position the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension to preserve the textile sheath and bend protection.

Recommendations

Do not use this cable with games consoles; for best performance place the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid sharp bends. For long-term installations ensure connectors remain secure and periodically inspect the textile sheath for wear.
