UGREEN Cat6A Pure Copper Ethernet Cable 0.5M – Black -70331

The UGREEN Cat6A Pure Copper Ethernet Cable (Model NW122-70331) is a 0.5-metre Cat6A U/UTP patch cable engineered for 10Gbps network environments where pure copper conductors, 500MHz bandwidth, and ultra-slim 2.8mm diameter are non-negotiable. Built with 32AWG bare copper conductors, 24K gold-plated RJ45 contacts, American Fluke-tested performance, and a soft PVC jacket for flexible routing in tight spaces — the UGREEN 70331 is the premium choice for 10Gbps NAS connections, high-density rack patching, behind-furniture routing, and any short-distance high-speed network application.

CAT6A — 10Gbps AT 500MHz: DOUBLE THE PERFORMANCE OF CAT6

The UGREEN 70331 operates to the Cat6A (Category 6A) standard — the significant performance tier above Cat6. Where Cat6 supports 1Gbps at 250MHz, Cat6A delivers:

- 10x the speed: 10Gbps (10GBASE-T) vs Cat6's 1Gbps maximum

- 2x the bandwidth: 500MHz vs Cat6's 250MHz

- Lower crosstalk at higher frequencies — Cat6A's more stringent ANSI/TIA-568-D specification controls alien near-end crosstalk (ANEXT) that limits Cat6 at 10Gbps distances

- Future-ready: supports the current and next generation of 10Gbps network switches, 10G NAS, and multi-gigabit routers without cable replacement

For buyers who have or plan to upgrade to a 10Gbps switch, 10G NAS (Synology, QNAP), or multi-gigabit router, Cat6A is the minimum cable standard required to realise full 10Gbps throughput end-to-end.

32AWG PURE COPPER (BARE COPPER) CONDUCTORS — NOT CCA

The UGREEN 70331 uses 32AWG bare pure copper conductors throughout — a critical distinction from lower-cost Cat6 cables that use CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) conductors. Pure copper provides:

- Lower DC resistance per metre — maintaining signal integrity over the full cable run without voltage drop

- Full compliance with IEEE 802.3 and TIA-568 conductor purity requirements for structured cabling

- Superior PoE (Power over Ethernet) performance — pure copper safely carries the higher currents of PoE+ and PoE++ without the resistance heating issues that make CCA cables unsuitable for PoE applications

- Long-term reliability — pure copper does not corrode or develop resistance increases at the conductor-to-connector junction the way CCA does over time

24K GOLD-PLATED RJ45 CONTACTS — ZERO SIGNAL LOSS AT THE TERMINATION

The reinforced RJ45 plugs feature 24K gold-plated contacts — the highest purity gold plating specification available on UGREEN network cables. Gold's zero-corrosion properties maintain a clean, low-resistance electrical contact across all eight conductor terminations for the lifetime of the cable — rated for over 10,000 insertion and extraction cycles without contact degradation, signal loss, or intermittent connection.

OD2.8MM ULTRA-SLIM PROFILE — ROUTE ANYWHERE

At just 2.8mm outer diameter, the UGREEN 70331 is significantly slimmer than standard Cat6 patch cables (typically 5–6mm OD). The ultra-slim profile enables:

- Routing under carpets and rugs without visible cable lump

- Threading through tight wall plate openings and desk grommets

- Running alongside other cables in cable management channels without bulk

- Clean routing behind monitors, along desk edges, and through furniture gaps

- Fitting multiple cables in spaces that accept only one or two standard cables

The 0.5M length is specifically designed for clean, minimal-distance connections — ideal for patch panel to switch port, NAS to switch, PC to wall port, and router to modem connections where cable length needs to be exact and tidy.

SOFT PVC JACKET — FLEXIBLE, DURABLE, KINK-RESISTANT

The soft, flexible PVC jacket makes the 70331 easy to bend, route, and position without kinking or creasing — maintaining cable geometry and conductor integrity across tight-radius bends in confined installation spaces. PVC provides abrasion resistance during installation through furniture, grommets, and cable guides without jacket damage.

AMERICAN FLUKE TESTED — VERIFIED PERFORMANCE

The UGREEN NW122-70331 passes the American Fluke test — an independent third-party measurement protocol that verifies Cat6A electrical performance parameters including insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, and delay skew against ANSI/TIA-568-D specification limits. Fluke certification guarantees the cable performs at its rated 10Gbps / 500MHz specification — not just claimed.
