UGREEN NW112 Cat 6 F/UTP Ethernet extension cable in the 5-metre length carries a KSh 1,200 price at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This UGREEN NW112 pairs one RJ45 male plug with one RJ45 female socket, so it stretches a network cable you already own instead of replacing it. Every UGREEN NW112 unit arrives brand new and sealed, carrying UGREEN's 11283 model code on the label. The cable moves data at up to 1000Mbps across 250MHz of bandwidth, matching the full gigabit ports fitted to modern routers, laptops and desktop computers.
Network technicians, cyber café operators, home office workers and online gamers across Kenya buy the UGREEN NW112 for one reason: the router sits where the fibre technician left it, not where the desk sits. Zuku, Safaricom Home Fibre and Faiba installations usually terminate near the front door, leaving a 2-metre patch cable stranded far from the workstation. Rather than pulling a whole new run through the ceiling, the UGREEN NW112 adds five metres to whatever cable is already in place. Accountants working on shared servers, students sitting Zoom lectures and creators uploading footage to YouTube all gain a steady wired link.
Unlike typical electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded copper-clad aluminium cables that fail within months, Mascom International sells the genuine UGREEN NW112 with 26AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and foil shielding. Users consistently report that swapping a cheap extension for this one clears the random disconnections that plague long cable runs near fluorescent lighting and power trunking. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand from Nairobi's small offices as fibre spreads deeper into residential estates. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to inspect the cable in person, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the UGREEN NW112
What does the UGREEN NW112 actually do?
It extends an Ethernet cable you already own without replacing it. One end is a standard RJ45 male plug that goes into your router, switch or wall socket. The other end is an RJ45 female socket that accepts the plug of your existing patch cable. That adds five metres of reach. It also spares your laptop's network port from repeated plugging and unplugging, which is the usual cause of a loose, wobbly connection.
Will the UGREEN NW112 slow down my fibre connection?
No. The cable carries the full gigabit ceiling of 1000Mbps across 250MHz of bandwidth, far above what any home fibre package in Kenya currently supplies. Safaricom Home Fibre tops out at 1000Mbps on its highest tier, and most households run between 10Mbps and 100Mbps. Your speed stays limited by your subscription, not by this cable. Four twisted copper pairs and a foil wrap keep signal loss low across the five-metre span.
What does F/UTP shielding mean for a Kenyan home or office?
F/UTP means a single foil wrap surrounds four unshielded twisted pairs. That foil blocks electrical noise from nearby power cables, fluorescent tubes, inverters and CCTV wiring. In a Nairobi office where network cable runs alongside power trunking, unshielded cables pick up interference that shows up as packet loss and frozen video calls. The foil layer on the UGREEN NW112 cuts that interference. It matters most in server rooms, cyber cafés and buildings with older electrical wiring.
Which devices work with the UGREEN NW112?
Any device with an RJ45 network port. That covers routers, ONT fibre terminals, switches, desktop computers, laptops, network printers, NAS storage boxes, VoIP desk phones, PoE devices, IP cameras, media players, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox consoles. It also works with television sets that carry a LAN port. The cable is backward compatible with Cat 5 and Cat 5e hardware, so older switches and routers still connect normally at their own rated speeds.
How long can my total cable run be after adding this extension?
Ethernet allows up to 100 metres of copper between two active devices, so a five-metre extension leaves plenty of headroom. If your existing patch cable is 10 metres, the combined run reaches 15 metres and stays well inside that limit. Each joint adds a small amount of signal loss, so avoid chaining several extensions together. A single extension on a run under 50 metres causes no measurable change in throughput.
Is this better than moving my router or switching to WiFi?
For a fixed workstation, yes. Moving a router means relocating the fibre ONT and calling your provider, which costs money and waiting time. WiFi weakens passing through the concrete and stone walls common in Kenyan construction, and it adds latency that online gamers notice immediately. A wired link through the UGREEN NW112 holds a steady connection with no signal fade. Keep WiFi for phones and tablets, and wire the desktop, console or work laptop.
Why does 26AWG pure copper matter compared to cheaper cables?
Many low-cost cables sold in Kenya use copper-clad aluminium, which is aluminium with a thin copper coating. Aluminium carries higher resistance, so the signal weakens faster and the wire snaps more easily when bent. The UGREEN NW112 uses 26AWG oxygen-free copper across all eight conductors. That keeps resistance low, holds gigabit speeds across the full length, and survives repeated coiling. Copper-clad aluminium also handles Power over Ethernet current poorly and can overheat.
Is the UGREEN NW112 worth KSh 1,200 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 1,200 it costs less than a service call from your internet provider and far less than a fresh cable run through the ceiling. Unbranded extensions sell for KSh 400 to KSh 600 but commonly use copper-clad aluminium with no shielding, and they fail within months. Users consistently report that one genuine UGREEN NW112 outlasts three cheap replacements. Mascom International also backs it with the warranty cover stated below, which no roadside cable vendor offers.

Technical Specifications
Data Throughput and Cable Category
- Cable category: Cat 6, rated for 1000Mbps gigabit transfer on standard network ports in homes and offices
- Bandwidth rating: 250MHz signalling frequency, two and a half times the 100MHz ceiling of older Cat 5e cabling
- Backward compatibility: connects to Cat 5 and Cat 5e hardware, running at whatever speed the older equipment supports
- Transfer ceiling: 1000Mbps handles 4K streaming, large file transfers and several workstations sharing one office connection
- Signal integrity: four twisted pairs with controlled twist rates hold data stable across the full five-metre span
- Latency: a wired path avoids the variable delay of WiFi, which matters for online gaming and video calls
Shielding and Conductor Construction
- Shielding type: F/UTP places one aluminium foil wrap around four unshielded twisted pairs for interference rejection
- Conductor material: oxygen-free pure copper on all eight wires, not the copper-clad aluminium used in budget cables
- Wire gauge: 26AWG conductors balance bending flexibility against low electrical resistance across the extension's five-metre length
- Pair count: four twisted pairs, eight conductors in total, matching the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 wiring layout
- Noise rejection: the foil layer shields against interference from power cabling, fluorescent lighting, inverters and nearby motors
- PoE handling: solid copper conductors carry Power over Ethernet current to IP cameras and access points safely
Connector Design and Physical Build
- Connector layout: one RJ45 male plug and one RJ45 female socket form a straight in-line extension
- Contact plating: gold-plated contacts resist the corrosion that coastal humidity in Mombasa and Kilifi causes over time
- Plug reinforcement: metal-reinforced connector housings survive far more insertion cycles than the plain plastic bodies on cheap cables
- Clip protection: a moulded guard shields the locking clip from snagging while the cable is routed
- Jacket material: PVC outer sheath resists scuffing along skirting boards, under desks and behind office furniture
- Colour and length: black jacket measuring 5 metres, sold under UGREEN model code 11283
Device and Network Compatibility
- Routers and modems: connects to fibre ONT units, Zuku routers, Safaricom Home Fibre boxes and Airtel routers
- Computers: works with desktop towers, laptops carrying built-in LAN ports, and USB-to-Ethernet adapters
- Gaming: supports PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Xbox consoles that need a wired link
- Office hardware: connects network printers, NAS storage units, VoIP desk phones, switches and unmanaged hubs
- Security gear: links IP cameras, NVR recorders and PoE access points in small business installations
- Television sets: any set carrying a LAN port accepts the connection for steadier video than wireless
Installation, Placement and Cable Management
- Setup time: plug the male end into the router, then attach your existing cable into the socket
- No configuration: the extension needs no drivers, software, power supply or changes to network settings
- Port protection: leaving this cable attached spares your laptop's LAN port from repeated plugging and unplugging wear
- Total run limit: keep combined copper length under 100 metres between two active devices for full speed
- Routing advice: run the cable along skirting boards rather than across doorways to avoid crushing the jacket
- Chaining: use one extension per run, since stacking several joints raises resistance and can reduce link stability
Standards Compliance and Model Identification
- Wiring standard: built to the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 specification for consistent pin assignment and transmission
- Model code: UGREEN NW112, with the 5-metre version carrying SKU 11283 printed on the retail packaging
- Family range: the NW112 line also comes in 0.5m, 1m and 3m lengths for shorter gaps
- Genuine sourcing: Mascom International stocks UGREEN through legitimate supply channels, never grey-market copies with faked labels
- Operating conditions: PVC insulation tolerates the temperature and humidity swings found across Kenya's coastal and highland counties
- Verification: check the UGREEN branding on the connector boot and the printed marking along the cable jacket
