UGREEN 3m Cat 8 Braided Ethernet Cable – 40Gbps, 2000MHz, Shielded RJ45 LAN Cable with PoE Support (80432)
Understanding the 40Gbps Rating
The cable is rated to support data transmission up to 40Gbps and bandwidth up to 2000MHz in a compatible network. It cannot make a 1Gbps router, 2.5Gbps network card or slower internet plan operate at 40Gbps. Your connection will run at the speed of the slowest device, port, cable segment or network service in the complete link.
40Gbps
Maximum rated link capability with compatible networking equipment.
2000MHz
High rated bandwidth for demanding wired network applications.
3m
Practical length for connecting devices across a desk, room or equipment rack.
10,000+
Manufacturer-rated bend-test durability under specified test conditions.
Performance shown represents the cable’s maximum rated capability. Actual internet and local-network speed depends on the complete network configuration.
BUILT FOR A STABLE CONNECTION
More Than Just a Faster Cable Rating
Shielding, connector construction and physical durability all contribute to a reliable wired connection.
Cat 8 Performance Rating
Supports rated transmission speeds up to 40Gbps and bandwidth up to 2000MHz when used with compatible end-to-end Cat 8 networking equipment.
F/FTP Multiple Shielding
Individually shielded twisted pairs and an additional overall aluminium-foil shielding layer help reduce electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk.
Gold-Plated RJ45 Contacts
Gold-plated contact surfaces provide a durable connection interface and help resist contact corrosion during normal indoor use.
Braided Outer Jacket
The heavy-duty braided exterior helps resist everyday abrasion, tangling and repeated handling around desks, gaming systems and network equipment.
Reinforced Connector Tails
Reinforcement around the connector-to-cable transition helps reduce strain at one of the most frequently flexed areas of an Ethernet cable.
PoE Network Support
Suitable for compatible Power over Ethernet networks, allowing network data and electrical power to travel through the same cable when used with compatible PoE equipment.
WHY USE ETHERNET?
A Consistent Alternative to Wireless Networking
A wired connection can reduce the variability caused by wireless congestion, distance and obstacles.
Gaming
Connect a gaming PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch dock to a compatible router or switch.
Streaming
Provide a stable wired connection to compatible smart televisions, media players and streaming boxes.
Large File Transfers
Connect compatible workstations, switches and NAS devices for high-speed local-network transfers.
Office Networks
Suitable for desktops, network printers, routers, patch panels, switches and compatible PoE devices.
A wired cable can improve connection consistency but cannot eliminate latency caused by the ISP, router, game server, network congestion or connected hardware.
RJ45 COMPATIBILITY
Connects to Standard RJ45 Ethernet Ports
Compatible with a wide range of Ethernet-enabled equipment. The cable is backward compatible with lower-category RJ45 networks, but the connection will operate at the maximum speed supported by the slowest component.
POWER OVER ETHERNET
Data and Power Through One Network Cable
The 3m cable supports use in compatible PoE networks. When connected to a properly matched PoE switch or injector, it can carry network data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones.
What You Still Need
- A compatible PoE switch or PoE injector
- A compatible PoE-powered device
- Matching PoE standards and power requirements
Before Choosing a Cat 8 Cable
- Confirm that both devices have standard RJ45 Ethernet ports. Slim laptops without RJ45 require a compatible Ethernet adapter or dock.
- A Cat 8 cable cannot increase the maximum speed of a slower router, switch, network card or internet plan.
- To approach 40Gbps, every relevant component in the network link must support the required speed.
- This cable is intended for indoor wired networking. It is not described as weatherproof, direct-burial or outdoor-rated.
- Avoid tightly crushing, stapling or sharply bending the cable, as improper installation can affect performance and durability.

HELPFUL ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable give me 40Gbps internet speed?
Not automatically. Forty gigabits per second is the cable’s maximum rated link capability. Your actual speed is limited by your internet plan, router, switch, network card, connected device and the other components in the network.
Can I use it with a 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps router?
Yes. It is backward compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet networks. A 1Gbps router will operate at up to its supported 1Gbps link speed rather than at 40Gbps.
Is it suitable for PS5, Xbox and gaming PCs?
Yes, when the device has a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. A wired connection can provide more consistent connectivity than congested Wi-Fi, but it cannot remove latency caused by the internet provider, router, game server or network congestion.
Does it support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, the 3m version supports use with compatible PoE equipment. A compatible PoE switch or injector is still required to provide power to a compatible PoE device.
What is the benefit of shielding?
Shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which can improve signal integrity in electrically busy environments or where several cables run close together.
Can I connect it to a laptop without an Ethernet port?
You will need a compatible USB-C or USB-A Ethernet adapter, hub or docking station. The maximum speed will also be limited by that adapter’s Ethernet capability.
Is this an outdoor Ethernet cable?
No outdoor or direct-burial rating is specified for this model. It should be treated as an indoor Ethernet patch cable and protected from water, prolonged sunlight and severe weather.
Is Cat 8 useful if my present network is slower?
It will work with a slower RJ45 network, but it will not increase the capabilities of that equipment. Its higher rating, shielding and durable construction can still be useful when planning network upgrades or installing cables in interference-prone locations.
