So I self host some stuff like jellyfin, ssh server for borg backup etc. over lan(Asus RT-AX53U router).
And just noticed that i still use cat5 and cat5e cables.
Does it make sense to upgrade to newer cat8 cables?
You must log in or register to comment.
What you should be asking is whether the cables qre the bottleneck in your network or not.
Is there any link that is not negotiating 1Gbps? Do you have devices that could push 10Gbps but the cable is not allowing it? If not, then there’s no need to upgrade them.
Unless, of course, if you want to do it just for fun, which is also a legitimate reason 😄
