UGREEN Ethernet Cable Cat 8 1m — 40Gbps 📶
Description:
This braided Cat 8 Ethernet cable from UGREEN delivers a wired connection aimed at demanding home networks, gaming setups and streaming. It is a 1 metre cable that offers high-speed data transfer and reduced interference, making it useful for low-latency gaming and stable media playback. Note that the source device or router must support contracted internet speeds according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
The cable supports a theoretical transfer rate of up to 40 Gbps and a bandwidth of up to 2000 MHz, which is significantly higher than earlier Cat 7 and Cat 6A options. This higher capacity helps when multiple devices share a LAN or when transferring large files across a local network. ⚡
Construction is focused on durability and signal integrity. The outer braid is a woven cotton-style jacket that resists tangles and daily wear, while the internal F/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This combination aims to deliver a more stable wired experience than typical unshielded or PVC-sheathed cables. 🧵
Consider that actual achievable speeds depend on connected hardware and network conditions. If your router, modem or network card does not support the higher throughput, you may not see the full 40 Gbps in practice.
Benefits
Wired connections commonly reduce latency and packet loss compared with wireless, and this Cat 8 cable emphasises those gains for online gaming and lag-sensitive applications. The 24K gold-plated contacts are intended to improve long-term conductivity and reduce contact corrosion. It also maintains backwards compatibility with older Ethernet categories so you can use it with a wide range of equipment without changing ports or adapters. 🎮

Usage Recommendations
Use this cable for connecting consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, network switches, routers, modems and PC network cards where low latency and high throughput are desired. For local file transfers between NAS and workstations or for 10 Gbps+ switch environments, the cable provides headroom for higher bandwidth tasks. For casual browsing or single-device setups with modest speeds, the advanced capacity may be more than necessary, and compatibility with existing hardware should be checked beforehand.
