Are they all the same? And could someone link me with which one could say we could get all or almost every wall in a ping-heavy game like Fortnite? I know that has to do with the line but I actually have a very good one and I'm concerned that I always stay on 30 because I use a 4 euro Lan cable. Just want to get everything out of my internet…
I'm new to PC and would be happy to receive serious answers. Please no clown answers that is a waste of time for both sides!
CAT 7 cables are good but everything depends on the length and the router and other users and your contract and external influences and age of the line is.
My computers are connected to each other at home via fiber optics.
To the outside world, however, I'm only connected with 500 MBit Down and 50 MBit Up.
Your latency of 30ms is not really affected by this, since the signal delay caused by the cable is exceeded by the processing latencies in the router, server and PC.
What your cable causes in latency is roughly the time it takes light to cover a distance equal to the length of the cable.
Perfect It doesn't matter whether it's Cat5 or Cat7. This only becomes relevant when the amount of data transferred reaches the limit of what your cable can transfer. Even the "cheap" Cat-5 Lan cables for 100BASE-T have throughput rates far beyond the average internet connection.
