if I'm ordering an ethernet cable for my home network, do I need to worry whether it's cat5, 6, 8 whatever?
I didn't realize there were cats > 5.
Ironically, I'm replacing one that my cat chewed all to hell.
@rpardee sheesh. it might be the coating on that that he likes, seems he left the other ones alone, some plastics use animal proteins, he also might just be an ass. Does he chew on anything else cable wise? (ours likes metal, so he will leave the cables alone and chow on the connectors)
@rpardee I use a card board tube from paper towel, foil tube. Cut straight on side and slip the wires through.
@rpardee NOT FOR LONG! Time to buy a replacement cable and have it overnighted.
@rpardee
I second the use of Wire Loom Tubing Cable Sleeves.
