Networking cable UNITEK C18148AGY01-5M RJ45 Cat6 5m Black

UNITEK USB-C to RJ45 Ethernet cable provides a direct wired network connection without the need for drivers or separate adapters. This plug-and-play solution connects a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port to a router, modem, or switch and serves as a reliable substitute when a computer's built-in RJ45 port is unavailable or damaged. The cable supports gigabit LAN speeds and is presented in a durable 5 m black design (model C18148AGY01-5M).

Advantages

The cable supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps while remaining backward compatible with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps networks. It complies with IEEE 802.3 standards including energy-saving IEEE 802.3az for stable, low-latency transmission. Constructed with pure copper conductors, an aluminum shell and reinforced strain relief (SR), the design improves signal stability and durability for extended use.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops and desktops with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports to wired networks
• Replacing a damaged or missing built-in RJ45 port
• Online gaming and high-definition video streaming
• File transfers and stable workplace network connections

How to use

Plug the USB-C connector into a compatible device (USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port) and connect the RJ45 end to a router, modem, or network switch. The cable is plug-and-play and does not require additional drivers. Once connected, verify the network link on your device and configure network settings if necessary for your operating system or network environment.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with gigabit-capable network equipment and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling. Ensure both device and network hardware support Gigabit Ethernet to achieve maximum speeds. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid compressing the connectors when not in use.
