Product description
This braided Cat 8 Ethernet cable from UGREEN delivers faster wired networking for gaming consoles, routers and PCs, offering higher bandwidth for demanding streaming and large file transfers. With a 2-metre length it suits desk setups and entertainment centres while helping to reduce lag during multiplayer sessions.
Key Points

The cable supports data rates up to 40 Gbps and a bandwidth of 2000 MHz according to the manufacturer, which is significantly higher than typical Cat 7 or Cat 6A options. Its F/FTP shielding design helps reduce electromagnetic and radio interference, contributing to a more stable connection and lower latency during gaming or video calls. The outer braided cotton jacket improves durability and keeps the lead flexible and tangle-resistant, making everyday handling simpler. Consider that your router or modem must also support higher speeds to reach the top data rates stated by the manufacturer.


Technical Specifications

- Name: UGREEN Ethernet Cable 2M Cat 8
- Length: 2 m
- Data rate: 40 Gbps
- Bandwidth: 2000 MHz
- Shielding: F/FTP (foil over twisted pairs, overall braid)
- Conductor: 30 AWG with 24K gold-plated contacts
- Outer jacket: Braided cotton
Usage Recommendations



For gaming consoles such as PS5, Xbox Series X/S and handhelds with RJ45 adapters, use this cable to prioritise wired connectivity over Wi-Fi for reduced jitter and more consistent latency. It also works with routers, modems, patch panels and Wi-Fi extenders that feature RJ45 ports. Route the cable with gentle bends to preserve the braided jacket and avoid tight corners that could stress the connectors.
Positive Aspects

Compatibility extends backwards to Cat 7, Cat 6A, Cat 6 and Cat 5e devices, so it can replace older Ethernet leads while providing headroom for future upgrades. The gold-plated contacts help maintain good conductivity and reduce corrosion over time. A minor limitation is that peak performance depends on the rest of the network chain, so check that connected equipment and service capability can support higher throughput.
