UGREEN NW153 Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 10m, Braided

UGREEN NW153 is a 10m Cat 8 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors and a braided outer covering. Its listed headline figures are 40Gbps and 2000MHz, while customer feedback describes reliable connections and speeds up to 920/108Mbps, which better indicates reported real-world use than the higher listing claims alone.

At a glance

The listing claims a maximum data rate of 40 Gigabits Per Second and a frequency of 2000 MHz. These are listing claims, not a guarantee of the speed available from connected network equipment.
The RJ45 cable is described as backward compatible with older Ethernet categories, including Cat 5e and Cat 6a.
UGREEN claims PoE support and shielding intended to reduce interference. Confirm that the cable and your devices suit your particular installation.
The cotton-braided covering may be useful where the cable will be routed or moved regularly.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The 40 Gigabits Per Second and 2000 MHz figures are manufacturer listing claims. Actual connection speed depends on the connected network equipment and configuration. Customer feedback mentions speeds up to 920/108Mbps, which is much lower than the claimed maximum and is a report rather than a guaranteed cable rate. The listed connector gender is Male-to-Female, while the product is described as an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Confirm the connector arrangement for the selected item before ordering. The listing also gives Gauge as 30.0 without a unit, so its meaning is unclear.

Customer feedback describes the cable as easy to set up, durable and reliable across devices, with reported speeds up to 920/108Mbps and satisfaction with its length and value. These reports suggest it can suit ordinary wired home connections, but do not confirm the listing’s claimed 40Gbps maximum. Aggregate ratings are largely five-star, though a smaller share is lower-rated, and ratings alone do not explain individual experiences.

Positive themes

Customer feedback highlights straightforward setup and compatibility with devices such as Xbox Series X and a Ubiquiti WiFi access point.
The feedback summary reports consistent full-speed connections and appreciates the braided construction and available lengths.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cable guarantee 40Gbps?

No. The listing claims 40 Gigabits Per Second, but that is not a guarantee of the speed your connection will achieve. Your connected network equipment and setup also determine actual performance.

Can it work with older Ethernet categories?

The listing claims backward compatibility with Cat 6a, Cat 6, Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables. Check that the RJ45 connection suits both devices.

Does it support Power over Ethernet?

UGREEN claims PoE support for all lengths of its Cat 8 Ethernet cables. The connected equipment must also support the required PoE setup.

Is it suitable for outdoor installation?

The listed usage is indoor. The supplied information does not establish that this cable is suitable for outdoor installation.
