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.

WiFi extends WiFi, not hard wire..

Cat 8 is some great stuff. Great terminal ends. Very tight connection and very good individual wire separation. I tore a cable apart and looked. I paid 10.00 usd for the cable.. It was a ribbon, thick insulation, the terminal ends are really well shielded just like the cable.. I went from CAT 5 to Cat 8.. Everything is better with a 14.00 cable change..

Neither cable ever had errors, BUT a serious speed increase though.

I ran one at 10 feet one at 25 feet, one at 50 feet to the back room..

It’s a co-axel to the box.. Router to laptops use Cat 8 now... A 100% increase in download and 50% increase in upload, with all 3 runs . Bidirectional protocol.
