Networking Cable Goobay 74179 USB C to RJ-45 Cat6 7.5m White

The Goobay 74179 Networking Cable is a 7.5 m USB-C to RJ-45 Cat6 cable designed to provide wired Ethernet connectivity for USB-C devices that lack a built-in RJ45 port. It supports Cat6 with F/UTP shielding, offers up to 1000 Mbit/s data transfer, and features nickel‑plated contacts for improved durability. The cable integrates a smart chip in the USB-C plug so the connection works without additional drivers, delivering a simple, plug-and-play Ethernet solution in a white slim design.

Advantages

This USB C to RJ-45 Cat6 cable eliminates the need for a separate adapter by incorporating a smart chip into the USB-C plug, enabling driver-free plug-and-play operation. With Cat6 F/UTP shielding and nickel-plated contacts, it provides reliable, interference-reduced network performance and durable connector contacts. The 7.5 m length offers extended reach for flexible placement and installation.
