- Snagless tab design for easier installation and removal
- 100% bare copper conductors for superior signal integrity
These construction features consequently ensure the cable maintains consistent performance even with regular handling and reinstallation.
Practical 5-Meter Length
At 5 meters (16.4 feet), the UGREEN UG-20162 provides extended reach for numerous networking scenarios:
- Connecting devices across larger rooms
- Linking equipment between adjacent rooms
- Running cable along walls or through cable management systems
- Establishing flexible network configurations in home or office settings
Furthermore, the standard RJ45 connectors maintain universal compatibility with networking equipment including routers, modems, switches, computers, gaming consoles, and smart home devices.
Rigorous Quality Testing
Each UGREEN UG-20162 cable undergoes comprehensive testing to verify performance:
- Full frequency bandwidth verification
- Cross-talk interference measurement
- Return loss and impedance testing
- Physical construction and connector quality inspection
These quality control measures therefore ensure reliable performance throughout the cable’s service life.
