UGREEN Cat6 UTP Ethernet Cable 5m – NW102

The UGREEN NW102 is a 5-meter Cat6 Ethernet patch cable that delivers reliable wired network connections across larger rooms or between adjacent spaces. This pre-terminated cable provides Gigabit Ethernet performance without the hassle of custom cable preparation. Ideal for students connecting equipment across dorm rooms and businesses routing connections between desks and distant wall jacks or network closets.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5-Meter Extended Reach: Connects devices across larger offices or between adjacent rooms, providing routing flexibility for professional cable management along walls or under desks without visible slack.
• Gigabit Speed Capability: Delivers network speeds up to 1000 Mbps with 250 MHz bandwidth, ensuring fast large file transfers, seamless cloud backups, and stable video conferencing connections.
• Snagless Molded Connectors: Protective boots shield the RJ45 locking tabs from damage during installation through cable management channels, reducing replacement frequency in active work environments.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Works immediately with routers, switches, computers, gaming systems, and smart home devices without drivers or configuration, saving setup time during office moves or equipment upgrades.
• Flexible PVC Construction: Durable yet bendable cable jacket allows routing through tight spaces or around furniture corners while maintaining signal integrity over the full 5-meter length.

Use Cases & Applications

Cross-Room Connections: Connect your home office computer to a router located in an adjacent room or hallway. The UGREEN NW102’s 5-meter length eliminates the need for WiFi extenders while maintaining stable Gigabit speeds through doorways.

Classroom Technology: Link teacher workstations to network switches mounted in equipment cabinets across lecture halls. The extended length accommodates professional cable routing along baseboards or through cable raceways for clean installations.

Office Desk-to-Wall Routing: Wire employee workstations to network jacks positioned several meters away without visible cable clutter. The black jacket blends with standard office cable management systems and furniture.

Home Entertainment Centers: Position your router in a closet or utility area while connecting smart TVs, gaming consoles, or streaming devices in the living room. The 5-meter reach provides flexibility for furniture rearrangement without replacing cables.

Network Equipment Racks: Connect servers, switches, or NAS devices within larger rack cabinets or between adjacent racks. The length accommodates proper cable management with service loops for future maintenance.

Retail Point-of-Sale: Wire cash register systems or card readers to backend network equipment positioned away from customer-facing areas. The cable supports both data and PoE power for integrated payment terminals.

Security Camera Placement: Install PoE-enabled IP cameras up to 5 meters from network switches or injectors, providing coverage for doorways, hallways, or parking areas visible from equipment rooms.

Guest Room Networks: Hotels or vacation rentals can provide wired connections from hallway network closets to in-room desks. The Cat6 performance ensures guests experience fast internet for work-from-anywhere arrangements.

Temporary Workspaces: Set up pop-up offices, trade show booths, or event registration desks with reliable wired connections spanning vendor spaces or conference room layouts.

Compatibility Note: This cable works universally with all Ethernet-enabled devices and supports speeds from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps depending on your network infrastructure. It’s backward compatible with Cat5e equipment and works in Cat6a networks. The UGREEN NW102 supports Power over Ethernet for devices drawing up to 25.5W (802.3af) or 51W (802.3at), including VoIP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. For optimal Gigabit performance, ensure all network components (router, switch, network adapters) support 1000BASE-T. The 5-meter length maintains full performance specifications—longer distances require proper cable selection to avoid signal degradation.
