Ethernet Cable UTP Cat5 its enough?Or better Cat5E?

[oskuro]

I would like to know if its ok with an UTP Cat5 or if i should buy better Cat5E.

I suppose that with Cat5 will be enough maybe??

thanks

Anything will be fine as long as it allows for the device to connect to the internet.

For what?

yeah well i thought it was obvious sorry hehe.

I want to connect my router in my bedroom, to a switch in the upper floor, using that network cable. Then the antminers will connect to the switch

i mean i read main difference between CAT5 and CAT5E is that CAT5E allows to work at fastest speeds, but this is a miner,.... so thats why i ask because i suppose with just CAT5 will be enough.

UTP Cat5E is enough.

u mean Cat5?. Cat5E is better and more expensive 

And any switch also will be enough i suppose

If you want gigabit speeds to all your devices, you need Cat5E or better along with a gigabit switch. For most stuff at home, any gigabit switch will work. I have't had one die on me yet.

Well i dont think an antminer needs a lot of net speed for internet, right? but if i connect 16 maybe its better CAT5E... mmmm ok thanks i will think about it

Wow, you can still buy Cat5? A quick search on Amazon (UK) just gives me 5E and 6.

Seriously I'd have thought the price difference if you can even get 5 would be so minute this discussion isn't even worth having.

CAT 5 should be fine and any Switch. Please make sure it is a switch and not a hub if you buy it used. B\C if it is a Hub it will cause latency which will negatively affect your profitablity.
My 2 TH miner only uses at its peak like 16kbits. So even wireless B could work but then your issue with wireless comes to that wireless traffic runs like an ethernet network with a hub and you will have collisions that will cause good old latency.

Be careful with GIGABit switches each port may be capable of gigabit speed but not all of the ports can do gigabit at the same time. you want to look at the Switching Capacity for the switch it should be at least 2gbs per port on the switch. In the home environment this isn't to big of a deal but if you what to have a media server in your home and stream high quality videos it can make a big difference.
