Networking cable Goobay 74166 USB C RJ-45 Cat6 1.5 m White

The Goobay 74166 USB C to RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a compact solution for USB-C devices that lack a built-in Ethernet port. At 1.5 m length and Cat6 specification, the cable supports wired network connections up to 1000 Mbit/s. The integrated smart chip in the USB-C plug replaces separate RJ45-to-USB-C adapters and enables immediate Ethernet connectivity without additional drivers. The cable has nickel-plated contacts and F/UTP shielding for reduced interference and improved durability, finished in white.

Advantages

This USB C RJ-45 Cat6 cable provides a direct Ethernet connection for USB-C devices, eliminating the need for bulky adapters. The Cat6 standard and F/UTP shielding ensure stable data transfer and reduced crosstalk. Nickel-plated contacts increase corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The built-in smart chip offers plug-and-play operation without requiring extra drivers on compatible systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops and tablets with USB-C ports to wired networks
• Desktop workstations or docking setups that require stable Ethernet access
• Video conferencing and large file transfers that benefit from wired speeds

How to use

Plug the USB-C end into a compatible device with a USB-C port and connect the RJ-45 end to a network socket or switch. The built-in smart chip handles the interface conversion so that most operating systems will recognize the cable automatically and provide Ethernet access without installing additional drivers. Ensure both ends are securely inserted for a reliable connection.

Recommendations

Use the cable for devices that lack an integrated RJ45 port and for situations where a stable wired connection is preferred. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain optimal performance.
