I'm looking for CAT6/A cables the max length will be is 5m. My speeds currently is 500/10 and plan to switch to 1Gig Fiber hopefully next year.
I'm Using R7000P / RT-AC86U Routers.
Would love to get recommendations for a brand to get the CAT6/6A Cables from.
I'd found Monoprice and InstallerParts brand CAT6/6A Cables on Amazon but i don't know about their quality for the price.
Here are the links to the Cables,
Monoprice: #1 Cat6, #2 Cat6, #3 Cat6A.
InstallerParts: #1 Cat6 UTP, #2 Cat6 (SSTP/SFTP), #3 Cat6A .

If you know any other not overpriced good brands that ships internationally, then i would like to check all.
Thanks ahead.

I bought some of the slim Monoprice 6A cables years ago, and they began failing recently, so I went ahead and replaced them everywhere in my house. Unless they’re going to be wall runs, I would just do as you have and research some brands and pick one. As long as you can monitor performance, you’ll know if one is no longer performing, and that’ll likely be years from now.
