UGREEN NW112 Cat6 Ethernet Extension Cable – Detailed Information

The UGREEN NW112 Cat6 F/UTP Ethernet Extension Cable (3 meters) delivers dependable, high-speed wired connections for home and professional networks. Built for stability and signal integrity, it’s perfect for extending your Ethernet reach without losing speed or quality. Now available in Kenya at Passcode East Africa Techverse Limited, this Cat6 extension ensures your connection remains fast, shielded, and durable.

Cat6 Performance and Speed

The UGREEN NW112 adheres to the Cat6 standard, supporting up to 1 Gbps data transfer and 250 MHz bandwidth. This provides improved crosstalk resistance and signal integrity compared to Cat5e cables. It’s ideal for high-speed internet connections, HD streaming, online gaming, and file transfers in demanding network environments.

F/UTP Shielding for Enhanced Stability

The F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) design provides an outer layer of aluminum foil shielding. This significantly reduces EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) caused by nearby power cables, routers, or wireless devices.
Each twisted pair remains unshielded but is engineered for minimal crosstalk — making this cable suitable for offices, server setups, and homes with multiple electronic devices.

Premium Build and Durability

The NW112 features gold-plated RJ45 contacts that resist corrosion while ensuring strong and consistent signal transfer.
The molded connectors offer added structural strength at high-stress points, and strain relief boots protect the cable ends from bending damage during repeated use.
This combination results in an Ethernet cable built to withstand frequent plugging, unplugging, and repositioning while maintaining stable performance.

Convenient Extension for Everyday Use

The 3-meter length provides the flexibility needed in real-world setups — perfect for connecting devices where direct access to an Ethernet port is limited.
It’s ideal when:

• Your router or switch ports are behind furniture

• You frequently connect and disconnect your laptop or console

• You want to protect ports on delicate networking equipment by using an intermediary extension

It seamlessly supports LAN connections, smart TVs, gaming consoles, VoIP phones, and media streaming devices, enhancing usability across both home and business environments.

Backward Compatibility

The NW112 maintains full compatibility with Cat5 and Cat5e standards, ensuring it integrates smoothly with existing network setups while also being future-ready for upgraded infrastructure. Users can confidently replace older cables without needing new hardware or reconfiguration.

Applications and Ideal Environments

• Home Networking: Connect smart TVs, routers, and PCs in living rooms and offices

• Gaming: Achieve lag-free gaming on consoles and desktop setups

• Office Networks: Extend Ethernet ports to meeting rooms, desks, and workstations

• Professional Installations: Suitable for NAS systems, VoIP telephony, and data centers requiring reliable wired connectivity

Comparison with Similar Models

Compared to UGREEN Cat5e extensions, the NW112 Cat6 offers:

• Higher bandwidth (250 MHz vs. 100 MHz)

• Better interference resistance due to foil shielding

• Improved data speeds (1 Gbps) for faster transfers
  While both are reliable, the Cat6 NW112 is the better choice for users seeking long-term, high-performance connectivity for modern devices.
