Ethernet cable for Streaming


I wish to use a CAt8 ethernet cable from router to a streamer (not yet purchased). I need a 50ft cable. Was considering Monoprice 24ga cable. The cost of that cable is ~$50. 

Will the 50ft length cause me a problem regarding sonics?

If so, are there versions of this cable that would better serve other than Monoprice?  

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Here is a very interesting reply from Blue Jeans cable when I asked about Cat8 cable.

There is CAT8 bulk cable, and a spec for using it in BaseT applications, but no spec for ethernet patch cords. So one could buy the bulk wire and put RJ45 connectors, but wouldn't be able to certify it to any spec or confirm that it passes any more information than CAT6A.
