So I self host some stuff like jellyfin, ssh server for borg backup etc. over lan(Asus RT-AX53U router).

And just noticed that i still use cat5 and cat5e cables.

Does it make sense to upgrade to newer cat8 cables?

    Cat5 and 5e are good for up to 2.5G. So if your hardware doesn’t go faster, there won’t be any improvements by changing the cables. (Well, unless you have a really wonky one.)
