UGREEN CAT 8 Ethernet Cable 15M 40Gbps
Product description
UGREEN Cat 8 braided Ethernet cable delivers high throughput and robust build for wired home networks and gaming setups. It combines a 40Gbps rated transfer speed with a 2000MHz bandwidth to help reduce lag during online gaming and keep HD streaming smooth, while the braided jacket adds durability for repeated routing behind desks and AV racks.
Key points
This cable is built for fast, stable wired connections across a range of devices. It supports PoE according to the manufacturer, so powering PoE cameras or devices is possible without a separate supply. The F/FTP construction with an aluminium foil shield reduces crosstalk and interference, which matters in congested cable runs or near other electronics. Do note that real world performance depends on your network equipment and setup.
Technical details

Benefits
The braided outer sheath improves abrasion resistance and keeps the cable flexible during frequent bends. With backwards compatibility to Cat7, Cat6e, Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5, it can replace older patch leads without altering existing ports. The shielding and twisted pair design aim to maintain signal integrity in busier environments, which is useful if you run multiple cables in a cabinet or alongside power lines.
Best use cases
Use this cable where a high bandwidth, low latency link is required, such as linking a router to a switch, connecting a console like PS5 or Xbox One, or extending a wired line to a WiFi extender. It’s a practical choice if you want a durable, high‑speed lead and want to avoid wireless interference while streaming or gaming.
Care & maintenance
Avoid tight kinks and sharp bends when routing the cable through trays or behind furniture. The braided jacket tolerates occasional flexing, but manufacturer testing indicates the cable is designed for longevity rather than repeated extreme stress. Replace if the connectors show visible wear or if transmission errors appear.
