What’s the difference between each type of ethernet cord and what’s are their applications? Which is best for gaming?
In: Technology
You should use STP cable for gaming to reduce as much electromagnetic interference (EMI) as possible. Packet drops produce lag, so minimizing packet drops is of utmost importance.
Most games don’t actually use that much bandwidth. For most residential applications, CAT5e is good enough.
But for gaming you want STP cables, not UTP. UTP is just cable without additional EMI shielding.
