Hello, I am going to buy a cable to connect my device and I do not understand the types. I’m not familiar with this, consider choosing CAT5e or CAT6. I searched on Google and saw a blog, is it true or not? Can anyone advise me and tell me why? Thank you in advance.

If you push the limits (e.g. length) or if EMC is a concern it might matter. In most practical cases (especially SOHO-Applications) you can use whatever you find first.
