I need a recommendation on the best Cat6 or Cat6e CMP solid-core copper cabling I can get for in-wall home use. I only need about 100 feet total. Most of the products on Amazon are from manufacturers I’m unfamiliar with. Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

Best Cat6 Cable?

A Cat6/ Cat6e cable is a Cat6/ Cat6e cable. When it's in a wall, mounted correctly, there's no risk of it degrading. Check the cable for any breaks before using it (of course)!
Yep. If they made to spec, all the same. The most important variable is the termination. Bad connections, poor crimping, and untwisted wire or common issues. Be aware that there are both Cat6 and Cat6a, which are different.
Monoprice has good prices and good-quality network cables.
Any yes, you can buy Cat 7 and Cat 8, but those are not common and are overkill for 99% of uses even in the foreseeable future.

I used monoprice cable to wire most of my house and garage without issue. Did my own terminations and tested everything as I went.
