Test it out and see. I use a 10in cat8 in my clean side with fantastic results.Thanks to everyone on this thread for some great advice. Threads like this one is exactly why I love Head-Fi.
I received my R26 I guess about a month ago and have been taking my time getting through this epic thread.
Just installed my FMC earlier in the week. On both the dirty end and the clean end I have a monoprice slim line cat 6, 6” on the clean end. Should I be using a shielded cat 8 on the clean side? I don’t have a short cat 8 to test, but could order one for a few dollars if that is the way to go.
Others use cat6 on the clean side.
I didn’t notice a difference but in theory the best bet is a cat6 on the clean side
Oh and welcome
