Week 2 posting - Ethernet Cables

     When I was a lot younger, I never realized there was a difference in ethernet cables. One day I remember sitting there talking to a friend of mine when I mentioned that even though I paid for good internet, I was not seeing the speeds that I should be seeing. He mentioned to me that there are different types of ethernet cables and that I could have an old, outdated cable which could be bottlenecking my speeds.

                Currently, the best ethernet cable available is Cat 8 ethernet. This is best used in data centers where the speed of the data transfer matters the most. There is no reason to not upgrade to Cat 8 ethernet if you are using old ethernet cables as it allows for more data to be transferred quickly.
