UGREEN NW102-20159 Cat6 UTP Ethernet Cable 1m - Black

Built around oxygen-free copper conductors and a 250 MHz bandwidth, the UGREEN NW102-20159 Cat6 UTP Ethernet Cable delivers Gigabit speeds with minimal interference in a compact 1-meter length. Unlike many budget cables that use copper-clad aluminium, this model uses pure OFC for lower resistance and more reliable signal integrity over short runs. The unshielded twisted pair design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route behind desks or along baseboards, while gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and maintain a clean contact for years of stable networking.

Highlights

• Cat6 performance: supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 55 meters, and full Gigabit at 100 meters.
• Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors: superior conductivity compared to CCA, reducing packet loss and heat buildup.
• Gold-plated contacts: enhanced durability and corrosion resistance for repeated plug/unplug cycles.
• UTP construction: no shielding means a thinner, more flexible cable ideal for tight spaces and patch panels.
• Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, so it works with existing infrastructure.
• 26 AWG stranded conductors: flexible enough for frequent movement without breaking.

In daily use

This 1-meter black patch cable is the perfect length for connecting a router to a nearby switch, a PC to a wall outlet, or a gaming console to a modem without excess slack. The PVC jacket is tough enough for everyday handling but remains pliable, and the snagless design prevents the locking tab from catching on other cables during installation. With its slim profile and neutral colour, it blends seamlessly into any home or office setup, while the gold-plated connectors ensure a secure, low-loss connection every time.
