Best Cat8 ethernet cable for PS5 and R3?

[Xero]

Which do you recommend as the best cat8 ethernet cable? Currently trying to find the best to upgrade to!

[Munz01]

You don’t need Cat8 cable for gaming and you can get any Cat8 cables as long as it’s RJ45.

Thought those were meant to reduce latency and ping compared to others?

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.

Great to know! Appreciate both of you helping me 😁

[Munz01]

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.

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! 😉

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.

@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.

Ah I see. That really sucks. Thank you for the help man! 😁👍
