UGREEN Cat 8 S/FTP Pure Copper Ethernet Cable Reel, 305m, Yellow (80426)
UGREEN Cat 8 S/FTP Pure Copper Ethernet Cable Reel, 305m, Yellow
The UGREEN NW151 80426 is a 305 m reel of yellow Cat 8 S/FTP copper Ethernet cable for building custom-length network runs. Its solid copper conductors and shielded construction suit structured cabling projects where the installer selects, terminates and tests each cable run. The reel supplies cable for multiple runs; 305 m is the supplied quantity, not a promised single-link reach.

What it does well.
Key features
305 m supply reel. Cut cable to suit measured routes and minimise unnecessary slack across a multi-run installation.
Pure copper conductors. 22 AWG solid conductors use approximately 0.62 mm copper cores.
S/FTP shielding. An overall braid and foil around the twisted pairs help control interference within a correctly installed shielded link.
Yellow jacket. A distinctive outer colour helps identify this cable within mixed network cabling.
A practical guide to choosing and using it
Build measured runs from one reel. Bulk cable lets an installer cut each run to the planned route. It is useful when several network points need different lengths and standard patch leads would leave unnecessary slack. Measure the cable path, allow working space at the termination points and label each run as it is installed. The reel is a supply for multiple links, rather than one ready-to-connect lead.
Match the termination hardware. The solid 22 AWG conductors and shielded construction need suitable connectors, jacks or patch-panel hardware. Check that the chosen hardware accepts the conductor gauge and cable diameter and supports the intended shielding arrangement. A connector’s familiar RJ45 shape does not guarantee that it will terminate every cable construction properly. Follow the termination hardware instructions and test the finished link.
Think about the complete network link. Cable category is one part of network performance. The ports at both ends, connectors, patch panels, patch leads, route length and workmanship all affect the result. A higher cable category cannot make a slower network port run faster. Plan for the actual equipment and target link performance, then verify the installed channel rather than relying only on the reel specification.
Make future changes easier. Keep a record of where each cable starts and ends, and leave manageable service slack without crushing the jacket or creating tight bends. The yellow outer jacket helps distinguish the runs from other cable groups. Route and secure the cable for the installation environment, maintaining access to termination points so a later network change does not require disturbing neighbouring connections.
Where it fits
Custom network runs. Prepare measured cable lengths between compatible structured cabling points.
Cabinet projects. Supply multiple terminated links for a planned server-room or network installation.
Will it work with your setup?
- Requires separately selected compatible network connectors, jacks or patch panels.
- Network performance depends on run length, termination quality and every component in the complete link.
Setup and everyday use
- Measure each route and allow sensible slack at termination points.
- Select connectors or jacks compatible with the cable diameter, conductor gauge, solid cores and shielding.
- Terminate the pairs consistently and maintain shielding continuity as required by the installation.
- Test each finished link with appropriate equipment before putting it into service.
A closer look
Before you buy
- This is bulk cable and requires termination before use.
- The 305 m reel length must not be treated as a 305 m high-speed Ethernet channel rating.
- Choose installation-rated cable for the required environment; check fire, outdoor and in-wall requirements before routing.
