Xero Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Which do you recommend as the best cat8 ethernet cable? Currently trying to find the best to upgrade to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munz01 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 You don’t need Cat8 cable for gaming and you can get any Cat8 cables as long as it’s RJ45. N3CR0 and Xero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Thought those were meant to reduce latency and ping compared to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 27 Administrators Share Posted August 27 No real recommendations, the differences between them are the speeds/distances they can support essentially. For home use Cat5e or Cat6 is more than sufficient. N3CR0, Rodolfo Lima and Xero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munz01 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Ethernet cable type isn’t meant to give you low latency. Cat5e and up can handle normal internet speeds like 1000/1000. So I would recommend cat6 if you got 1000/1000 or less and cat7 if you got 10gbps internet speed. Xero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Keep in mind that RJ45 standards like HDMI are purely commercial! Buying a very expensive cable will not give you a better experience... I have 8Gbps symmetrical speeds "FAI" And a local network in 10 Gbps ... cat6 or 5e does the job! 😉 Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 Yeah, you guys are right. I have 1000 Mbps so cat6 should suffice haha. Are there speed caps on PlayStation? Wanted to keep everything in mind for when I purchase the R3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 @XeroYes Speeds are capped on PlayStation as Sony has slow servers when downloading files + uploading they even slightly affect your ping and if the servers go down then you can't play any game unlike PC.
