UGREEN Cat 6 LAN Cable 1m (Black) – U/UTP RJ45 Ethernet Patch Cord

The UGREEN Cat 6 LAN cable is a short-run Gigabit Ethernet patch cord designed for connecting computers, routers, switches, and network devices at distances up to one metre. It suits home offices, server racks, and desktop setups where a tidy, close-proximity wired connection matters. Additionally, its backward compatibility makes it a practical replacement for older Cat 5e cabling without requiring infrastructure changes.

Use Cases and Applications

Home and Office Network Connections

The 1 m length suits short desktop-to-switch or switch-to-router connections where cable management is a priority. It connects PCs, printers, or NAS drives directly to nearby network hardware without excess slack. Furthermore, the black finish blends cleanly into most office environments and cable management systems.

Patch Panel and Rack Deployments

Network installers and IT administrators often use 1 m patch cords to connect patch panels to adjacent switches in a rack. The reinforced connector on the UGREEN Cat 6 LAN cable handles frequent plug-and-unplug cycles without degrading connector integrity — a practical advantage in managed network environments.

Gaming Consoles and Media Devices

Wired connections reduce latency compared to Wi-Fi for gaming consoles, smart TVs, and streaming boxes. At 1 Gbps, this cable comfortably handles 4K streaming and online gaming traffic without becoming a bottleneck, provided the connected router or switch also supports Gigabit speeds.

A Note on Conductor Material

This variant (model 20159) uses copper clad aluminium (CCA) rather than solid copper. CCA conductors carry a slightly higher resistance over longer runs; however, at 1 m, this has no measurable effect on performance. For runs exceeding 10–15 m, a solid pure copper cable is worth considering.
