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 get Cat5e. That's about all you need, unless you're doing some higher end network computing.
@rpardee yeah, they'll work, but just more expensive per the footage.
