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 and for bonus points, are you running cables places like vents, cavities, etc. that’d require plenum jacketing?

@MookyTroubadour I will require robustness against dust bunnies and feline mastication. And I need it to carry bits from a 10-year-old switch over to a PC and back. That's pretty much it.
@rpardee plenum jacketing is mostly about fire tolerance if I recall correctly. Not sure there is official feline endure testing. I smell a marketing angle. :)
