So I self host some stuff like jellyfin, ssh server for borg backup etc. over lan(Asus RT-AX53U router).
And just noticed that i still use cat5 and cat5e cables.
Does it make sense to upgrade to newer cat8 cables?

It could be labeled on the cable as well. Look for “UTP” (unshielded), “FTP” or “STP” (two different shielding types).
Heh… TIL ;)
Looks like there is actually a crazy amount of different types: https://www.universalnetworks.co.uk/faq/what-does-utp-s-utp-ftp-stp-and-sftp-mean/
