Stay connected no matter what, with super-fast and reliable ethernet cables from Overclockers UK. While Wi-Fi has come a long way in the last decade, ethernet still remains the most reliable type of connection. Thanks to their physical connection to both your PC and router, they offer incredibly low ping in games and the stability needed for demanding applications. We stock a huge range of ethernet cables, meaning you can choose from lengths up to 30m .
Using an ethernet Cable is a great way to keep your network fast and reliable, no matter the situation. Whilst WiFi works great most of the time, having many devices accessing it, or living in a crowded place with other competing WiFi routers can slow down your signal. Plugging an ethernet cable into your gaming PC is the easiest way to ensure you don’t lose connection in those clutch or kick moments.
