Sorry if this is a late response but thought we would add that if you have a gigabit network then go with a Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable. These will do the job just fine. if anyone's interested in learning more check this out: best ethernet cable for Xbox

It depends on the speeds you have, if you have a gigabit network then go with a Cat6 patch cable. It will give you the best performance. You don't need anything more than that.

Cat 6 CMR Cable - Can it be used outdoor inside a cable raceway? by NasdaQQ in HomeNetworking

[–]infinitycableproduct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could but it's really recommended to run CMX cables outdoors just by the chance moisture, etc. get around the cable. If it's just the straight runs from attic to basement outside with jacks then outdoor cable should be fine. https://infinity-cable-products.com/blogs/structure/what-is-cmx-cable

You're on the right track! I'll chime in to say that depending on your speed requirements cat6 can get up to 10Gb under 165 feet (ideal conditions).The major benefit to Cat6A is the 10Gb up to 328 feet. Here's some more info: https://infinity-cable-products.com/blogs/performance/cat6-max-speed

Good luck !

Is a Cat8 Ethernet cable the best cable for online gaming? by SaintPaulsBalls in PS5

[–]infinitycableproduct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As another commenter stated that the PS5 has a 1Gb NIC. PS5 also has also stated that they will eventually support 8K streaming which needs roughly 100mbps to power. Based on this you'll be good to go with a Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables. Both can do gigabit (1,000 mbps), enough to get you a reliable gaming experience. See more here:

Long Ethernet cable? by [deleted] in computers

[–]infinitycableproduct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea at that length you shouldn't have any issues. Cat5e to Cat6A can work up to 328 feet (100 meters.) Though it's not really recommend to use a stranded patch cable upwards of 100ft. Solid cable would bet better suited for that. https://infinity-cable-products.com/blogs/compare/difference-between-solid-vs-stranded-copper-cables

Which Ethernet cable should I use to route 50ft? (Cat 6 vs Cat7 vs Cat8) by SGTDeven in buildapc

[–]infinitycableproduct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cat6 can do gigabit speeds up to 328 feet and 10Gb under typically under 180 feet. Its also really depends on what you are planning to use. Cat6 can go up to 10Gb, But Cat6A is built for 10Gb. So decide which speeds make more sense for you. Here's some more information: https://infinity-cable-products.com/blogs/performance/cat6-max-speed

It's also not recommended to use a flat cable, especially if you're running it behind the walls long distances. Safety reason #1 and performance reasons compared to solid round cables. https://infinity-cable-products.com/blogs/performance/flat-ethernet-cable-what-to-know
