Connect a router, switch, computer or console with the UGREEN 11202. This blue 2m Cat 6 patch cable has RJ45 plugs at both ends and is built for everyday Gigabit networking at the desk, in a home office or in a small network cabinet.
A short, dependable patch lead is often all that stands between a flaky wireless link and a stable wired one. At 2m it reaches comfortably from a router or wall port to a desktop, TV unit or console without leaving a large coil of spare cable behind the furniture. The blue jacket also makes it easy to trace one link among several in a switch or rack.
Key features
Gigabit-ready Cat 6
Cat 6 U/UTP construction for Gigabit Ethernet with compatible routers, switches and network adapters.
RJ45 at both ends
Standard RJ45 male plugs fit the LAN ports on routers, switches, PCs, consoles, printers and NAS devices.
Handy 2m length
Long enough to reach from a router or wall plate to a desk or TV unit, short enough to stay tidy.
Easy to identify
The blue jacket helps you tell this link apart from other cables in a switch, rack or patch panel.
Where it fits
Home and office desks
Give a desktop PC or a laptop Ethernet adapter a stable wired link to the router.
Gaming and TV
Connect a console, smart TV or streaming box that sits close to the router.
Network cabinets
Patch between a switch, router and patch panel in a small rack or wall cabinet.
Will it work with your setup?
Works with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports on routers, modems with LAN ports, switches, PCs, laptops, consoles, smart TVs, printers and NAS devices.
A laptop without an Ethernet port needs a USB or USB-C Ethernet adapter; the adapter speed sets the maximum link speed.
The connection runs at the speed both ports support. A 100Mbps port stays at 100Mbps even with a Cat 6 cable.
Setup and everyday use
Check the route from the router or switch to your device and make sure 2m reaches with a little slack at both ends.
Plug one RJ45 connector into a LAN port on the router or switch until the clip clicks into place.
Plug the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer, console, TV or other device.
Check the link lights on the port or the network settings on the device; the speed negotiates automatically.
To unplug, press the clip and pull on the connector body, not the cable. Avoid sharp bends and crushing the cable under furniture.
Before you buy
This is an RJ45 Ethernet patch cable, not a telephone (RJ11) lead or a fibre cable.
The cable does not increase your internet plan speed; it replaces a wireless hop with a wired one.
U/UTP means the pairs are unshielded, which is normal for home and office patch cables. For electrically noisy areas, a shielded Cat 6A or Cat 7 cable may suit better.

Frequently asked questions
Will it work with my broadband router?
Yes, if the router has RJ45 LAN ports, which almost all home and office routers do. Plug one end into a LAN port and the other into your device. The link negotiates the fastest speed both ports support.
Is Cat 6 fast enough for Gigabit internet?
Yes. Cat 6 is designed for Gigabit Ethernet, so it will not be the bottleneck on a typical home or office connection. Your internet plan, router and device still decide the final speed you see.
Why does my device show 100Mbps instead of 1Gbps?
Usually one of the ports only supports 100Mbps, or a plug is not fully seated. Check the router and device specifications, reseat both plugs and try another LAN port. A damaged or sharply bent cable can also force a slower link.
Can I connect a laptop that has no Ethernet port?
Yes, with a USB or USB-C Ethernet adapter or a dock that has an RJ45 port. Connect this cable between the adapter and the router. Choose a Gigabit adapter if you want Gigabit speeds.
Is 2m long enough?
For a device on the same desk or TV unit as the router, usually yes. Measure along the actual route, including any corners and the height to each port. If the device is in another part of the room, choose a longer cable instead of stretching this one.
Can I use it between a switch and a patch panel?
Yes. Short Cat 6 patch cables are commonly used to link switches, routers and patch panels in small racks and wall cabinets, and the blue colour makes the link easy to trace later.
