I'm looking for recommendations on the best Ethernet cable brands available in Australia that can provide fast speeds for smooth game streaming. Do certain brands have an edge, or should I just focus on the cable specifications?

It's true that Ethernet standards matter more than the brand. For instance, CAT5e supports up to 1 Gbps, while CAT6 can do up to 10 Gbps. Just look for cables with those ratings, and you should be set, regardless of who makes them.
Ethernet is standardized, which means the brand doesn’t influence speed. Just make sure your cable is at least CAT5e or higher, and you're good to go!
You don't really need to worry about brands when it comes to Ethernet cables. Just stick with a cable that’s at least CAT5e or better. The quality of the cable is important, but the brand name is usually irrelevant. In fact, a good CAT5e cable can handle speeds up to 2.5Gbps, which is more than enough for what most home networks need!
Yeah, exactly! The cable specifications are key. As long as you go for a decent quality one that meets the specs, you'll be fine.
