UGREEN Ethernet Cable 5M, Flat RJ45 LAN Gigabit Cat 6 Internet Cable

I bought this UGREEN Cat 6 cable to replace an older Cat 8 cable that I’d honestly overbought for simple home gigabit internet use. While fitting new carpet, the old cable got badly scuffed, so I decided to switch to something slimmer and easier to manage.I went with UGREEN because I’ve had good experiences with their chargers and accessories before, and once again the build quality impressed me. The first thing I noticed was just how thin and flexible this cable is compared to most Ethernet cables I’ve owned. At first, I was worried that would make it fragile, especially since I was routing it under carpet edges, through doorways, and close to carpet grippers/spikes. Surprisingly, the flexibility actually helped protect it. At one point I accidentally pushed a metal doorway strip directly onto the cable and expected at least a visible mark, but there wasn’t even a scratch.The flat design makes this ideal for hiding. Once installed under the carpet, it’s practically invisible and you genuinely can’t feel it underfoot either, which was exactly what I wanted. If you’re particular about cable management or hate visible wires like I do, this is excellent.Performance-wise, it handled full gigabit speeds without issue. Using a direct wired connection, I was consistently getting over 900 Mbps download and full upload speeds during testing. In my normal setup using a mesh extender upstairs, I still see around 600–800 Mbps download speeds consistently. Stability has also been solid with no connection drops so far.The only small downside is that the cable loves twisting back on itself while installing. Because it’s so lightweight and flexible, I had to constantly straighten it while routing it under carpets. Once installed though, that annoyance disappears completely.For the price, I think it’s very reasonable. I paid around £16 for the 20m version, although I’ve since seen it discounted to around £13, which works out to surprisingly good value considering the quality and flexibility you get.Overall, this is a great choice for anyone needing a long Ethernet cable for a PC, console, TV, mesh system, or general home networking setup especially if you need something discreet and easy to hide.

There's lots of negative chatter about flat cables and I bought these flat cables strictly on the basis of them being from UGreen, a brand that I have grown to trust over the years. At 5M length there's ample opportunity for any issues to raise their head. But true to UGreen quaity these worked perfectly at full 1Gbps speeds wherever I tried it. Between ONT and Eero Router. Between Eero Router and devices, and across Gibabit switches to devices, there was full compatibility each time, flawlessly. These cables are very thin and flexible, and won the day where I was using one cable with a Powerline adapter that only just cleared the floor, the flat cable worked a treat, a great fit. Looking at these cables I would see them as durable as any conventional round twisted pair Cat 6 cable. I think one has to be sensible about such things, if you're running the cable underneath carpeting then avoid doorways if possible, or at least place as close to the threshold as possible to limit the amount of being stepped upon by feet.

The cables cover is high quality and the flat nature makes it easy to fit under carpets and doors. It was ideal for running throughout it my house to hard wire multiple WiFi hubs.I found it fairly easy to bend around corners and down stairs underneath carpet. It handles close to 90° curves well though its best to avoid a sharp 90° corner as it may damage the cable. I would say due to it being flat it can requires a bit more thought when going from horizontal to vertical as the cable will need to twist over a longer section than if it were bending directly up and down on the flat edge of the cable.I can report that I'm getting close to full speeds from my quoted internet package without any drop in signal so far.Easy to use, high quality and provided good connection. No complaints.

It works. Not a robust lead but a good one. Thin but then again that is the point. It’s very flat too

I bought this UGREEN 30m flat Ethernet cable for my PC, and it’s been a fantastic investment. At just £15.99, it offers excellent quality for the price. The cable is thin, flexible, and easy to route around my desk. I was a bit skeptical at first, since I’d bought another UGREEN cable before and saw some mixed reviews. But after trying this one, I’m much more hopeful about UGREEN. It delivers reliable gigabit speeds, and it feels sturdy. Definitely a solid pick if you need a long cable for your home network!

FINALLY! Stable Virgin Media signal! The wifi here (city) is rubbish, it can't even reach through a door!... and this is their best! tut time for a new provider but while I'm comparing, this has given me a full day of tv with no stupid buffering. or connection issues. It was so easy to set up too, one in the back of the 360 box one in the back of hub so it's definitely compatible with Virgin Media 360 box, it'll always come in handy in future too for a stable, solid, ethernet connection.I will definitely go for this brand again.Cheers!

I decided to wait a bit before I reviewed this, just incase anything went wrong. Now I wish I had left a review sooner, because this is a great cable!The cable feels very sturdy, so I can be sure that it won't just suddenly break on me.It's got a great length, going from 5 metres all the way to 30 metres.I got the 10m version, a bit too long for me as you can see by the photo where the cable is all kind of tangled together 😭Oh well, atleast I know it can go further if needed :DThe cable connects to my devices easily, bringing out the full speed of my network. It actually brings out a slightly higher speed, as you can see on the photo. Which is even better than my expectations, so I'm not complaining 🤷‍♀️This cable is compatible with every device. I've used it on a laptop, TV, Xbox...Any device with an ethernet port will be compatible with this cable. It functions on every device just as any other ethernet cable would.It's a CAT6 Ethernet cable, so it can go up to 10 Gbps. Which will be more than enough if you have a plan with your internet provider that can go up to 1000mbps (1Gbps).In short, I recommend this cable to anyone looking for an ethernet cable with high speed, amazing functionality, durability and compatibility.

This 5-meter UGREEN cable is absolutely brilliant. The flat design is a game-changer—it slides perfectly under rugs and along skirting boards without causing any lumps or tripping hazards. It delivers a rock-solid, full gigabit speed connection for my setup with zero dropouts.

Me encanta esta marca.Estuve mirando que cable es mejor y me recomendaron esta marca y la verdad estoy muy satisfactorio, ya que funciona muy bien para conectar un monitor al router principal sin perder conexión y estabilidad. Muy recomendado

السلك يدخل في زوايا ضيقه مثل اسفل الباب ولا يأثر عالباب وسهل الاخفاء رقيق جداً ولا يشوه المنظر كثيراً خصوصاً اذا تم تمديده بشكل سليم

Parfait, fonctionne très bien avec connexion à un routeur fibre optique, et de couleur assortie avec son environnement immédiat.

Amazing product had it for over 30 days no problems what so ever, fit under my doors with ease. Super fast connection and impressive low pings

La calidad de este cable Ethernet es increíble, calculé un poco mal porque realmente debe pasar todo el salón y la cocina para poder llegar a mi pc, aún así mejor que sobre a que falte.-El cableado es bastante resistente y no hay interferencias ni mucho menos el internet llega lento a pesar de que está bastante lejos, me impresiona. Siempre compro cosas de la marca UGREEN y todos sus productos no defraudan, realmente son calidad-precio. Recomendadísimo!
