Hi! You have raised a really important topic, because choosing an Ethernet cable in 2025 may not be as obvious as it seems at first glance. Many people wonder, How long can and Ethernet Cable be? To figure it out, let’s understand a little about the types of cables. Let me start by saying that there are several categories of cables – CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CAT7 and even CAT8. It all depends on what you need the cable for. Considering that you mentioned problems with Internet instability, I can immediately say that old CAT5e cables are unlikely to have a stable connection in the long term. Moving on to more modern options – CAT6 and CAT6a. These cables are great for most home needs, including watching high-quality movies and online games, as well as office work. But if you have a desire “for the future” or suddenly decide to connect some devices with high bandwidth (for example, devices with 10 Gbps support), then the best choice would be CAT6a. It is capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps at distances of up to 100 meters, making it a fairly versatile option for a variety of situations.
