Ethernet cable UGREEN Cat6A UTP 1m — black

UGREEN Cat6A UTP Ethernet cable, 1 meter long and finished in black, provides a compact wired connection option for home and office networks. As an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable built to Cat6A performance guidelines, it is intended for short runs where a reliable Gigabit or 10 Gigabit-capable link is required between devices such as PCs, routers, switches and network-attached devices.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6A-level transmission characteristics over a short 1 m length, delivering stable high-speed data transfer and low latency for local connections. Its UTP construction simplifies installation in typical indoor environments without the need for additional shielding, and the compact length reduces clutter and signal degradation associated with longer cables. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that blends with most setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a router or switch at short distances
• Patch connections in a home office, server cabinet or media cabinet
• Temporary or permanent links for 1G and 10G network segments within a room
• Replacing a worn or lost short Ethernet patch cable

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat6A cable is intended for use in standard indoor environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is limited. In installations near heavy electrical equipment or long cable runs exposed to significant interference, a shielded cable type may be more appropriate. For runs significantly longer than 1 meter, consider longer cables to avoid tension or the need for extensions.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A performance class
• Conductor type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Black
• Typical use: Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-distance connections

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your computer, switch or router and the other end into the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the retaining clip clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the cable; maintain gentle curves and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. If used in a patch panel or keystone jack, confirm compatibility with standard RJ45 terminations.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your setup—this product is 1 m long
• Whether unshielded construction is suitable for your environment
• Needed network speed support (suitable for 1G and 10G short links)
• Color preference for visible routing or cable management

Usage recommendations

Use the 1 m UGREEN Cat6A UTP cable for short, direct connections between devices where minimal slack and clean cable management are desired. Avoid using this unshielded cable in high-EMI environments and select shielded variants for runs adjacent to heavy machinery or long ducting.
