Ethernet


I am adding a HiFi Rose RS 130 to my set up and need to split my ethernet cable run...  Here is my question:  I have about a 20' run into the splitter , then 2 x 3' runs to the RS130 and a BluSound Vault.  I have been using a $20 ethernet Cat 5 cable on the BluSound Vault alone.  I am seeing (typical) ethernet runs for $7,000 to $1.50.  Where do I go here?  Primary goal is to make sure all 3 runs are identical and really NOT thinking of spending a ton here.  Thoughts?  Cat 5...6...7...?

Help !!

See the hyperlink for choosing a specific cable category for your run, considering the minimum category recommended by your streamer manufacturer.

I made a mistake spending hundreds on a Synergistics Atmosphere Ethernet cable and was unhappy with its performance.  I ordered a Blue Jeans Ethernet cable on the recommendation of the proprietor of a high end interconnect/cord manufacturer I respect and I use his company’s products.  My comparisons were on an Aurender N100H at the time proved his recommendation valid.  The Synergistics sits in my basement storage. My recommendation is not to spend mega dollars on the Ethernet cable and audition.
