shielded cat6?

500 feet of this came with the reolink system i bought and its the big thick ugly gray ethernet cables designed to live on exterior walls and go through crawl spaces where all kinds of electrical cables and other shite are also living that could interfere with the signal so why wouldn't i use it?

Cat 8? Do you just buy stuff that sounds cool?

---

i mean, thats what amazon sells now and its the same price as cat 5e so why would i NOT buy it? i think i bought a 6 pack of 25' cat8 for maybe $12.

maybe its overkill to run cat8 all the way from the switch to my office PC but i already had the cable so i just kept it consistent.

eta ya'll will bitch about anything on here.
