Nothing wrong with CAT6 but anything more is overkill.


i dont disagree, but cat6 is the same price (or more expensive!) than cat8 at amazon and monoprice.

why would you go out of your way to look for cat6?

am i missing something?

I don't think cat7 or cat8 are officially recognized standards. I may be wrong, but I think that means these companies can get away with using these terms for marketing without the cables actually being made to some higher specs or standards.

Also watch out for CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors. If it seems like a cable "should" cost more but doesn't, there is usually a good chance you are missing something.
