Ethernet cable UGREEN Cat6A UTP 8 m — black, 10 Gbps network cable

UGREEN Cat6A UTP Ethernet cable, 8 m — black is a high-performance network cable designed to support wired connections up to 10 Gbps. Constructed to Cat6A specifications with unshielded twisted pairs (UTP), this 8-metre cable provides a reliable physical link between routers, switches, PCs and other Ethernet-enabled devices. Its length and flexible jacket make it suitable for both home and office installations where stable, high-bandwidth transmission and reduced crosstalk are required.

Advantages

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps data rates over twisted-pair copper wiring and meets Cat6A performance parameters to reduce interference and improve signal integrity. UTP construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route while maintaining consistent impedance for predictable performance. The black outer jacket offers a discrete appearance and resists wear from regular handling. Compatible with standard RJ45 connectors, the cable provides a plug-and-play solution for network connections without the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems in home or small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 4K streaming, online gaming and large file transfers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-workstation links in compact office setups
• Temporary or permanent wired connections where an 8 m length is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (augmented performance for high-speed Ethernet)
• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Maximum supported speed: up to 10 Gbps
• Nominal length: 8 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible ends
• Outer color: black
• Typical use: indoor networking for home and office

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (router, switch or computer) and the other end into the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; allow gentle curves to preserve internal pair geometry. For optimal performance, keep the cable separated from strong electrical interference sources and avoid running parallel to power lines over long distances.

Usage recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbps performance, use end devices and network hardware that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and ensure connectors are fully seated. In environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cabling or separate routing. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts show visible wear.
