Audio Grade Ethernet Cable

I have the feeling you are still on dial-up and listen to the old hand crank Victrola. 

Sorry, did not mean to stir things up.  Just was musing about the divergence between cost and benefit at the outer ends of our hobby.  I guess what I should be pondering is whether the above  discussed upgrades could bring my streaming beyond the CD / CD transport sound.

A question for technically savvy individuals... Please do not send me the AI-generated answer.  I have tried and it gives me two drastically different answers depending on how I ask... 

Q: It is known that Cat 6 can transmit data at speeds up to 10 Gbps using a maximum bandwidth of 250 MHz, while Cat 8 supports speeds up to 25–40 Gbps with a maximum bandwidth of 2000 MHz. So, for transmitting 10 Gbps, Cat 6 operates at around 250 MHz. If I use a Cat 8 cable to transmit data at the same 10 Gbps rate, what frequency will the Cat 8 cable operate at? Same frequency of 250 MHZ or higher and how high will it be?

The same. It's just a cable passing a signal from one end to the other. There's no active circuitry.
