Are you saying there's no reason to buy gold plated Monster ethernet cables? I thought they had more GeeBeesHello,
It 'depends' really. Older standards like Cat5 were rated up to 100 mbit. If your Internet speed is below that then it wouldn't matter. Otherwise Cat5e/Cat6 are rated for 1000 mbit. You would also need gigabit interfaces on each end to achieve that throughput. If you have a damaged or poorly terminated cable then it can introduce errors on the line which would cause packet loss and a decrease of 'speed'. Most off the shelf cables are pretty synonymous for how you'd be using them, though.
Fun fact, the term 'Monster' refers to the profit margin on their products.Are you saying there's no reason to buy gold plated Monster ethernet cables? I thought they had more GeeBees
So you are telling that there is not much difference in quality... I saw 10 different prices for the same network cable so I wanted to ask if there is any difference.. As you say, I'll try the cheapest CAT6A UTP cable.Fun fact, the term 'Monster' refers to the profit margin on their products.

Monoprice has some good rates on cables if you need a few. They have some super thin cat6a rated patch cables that work pretty well.

But you are wrong. Pure silver has less resistance than gold. You don't plate silver for the connectors because they oxidize whereas gold is more resistant to oxidizing.Now don't get me wrong. Gold has the least resistance regarding eletrical current

I doubt it's pure silver.You probably at best, bought silver plated cables with gold plated connectors. Which wouldn't have made a difference to the cheap stuff.That's probably what it was, silver.
