So I'm going to buy a Powerlink set for my PC to connect and I need help with picking the best ethernet cables to get the most out of it. This is the set i want to get: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704259

Now I don't know if there are any compatibility things i would have to watch out for. Now this is a link to the store page of all ethernet cables available: https://www.protis.hr/products/index/kabeli-mrezni/281 I know that it's not in english, but hopefully Google can translate it. For the pricing, 1 euro is 7.4 kn. I would really like some help with getting the best possible cable while staying relatively cheap. If you need any more information for compatibility checking, ask.

If it connects at gig it will work the same. Your not limited by the cable power line will be the slow one here.

Connects the two nics. If your link speed is gig it's running at the max speed. 

so i should get a cable that has at least 1Gbps speed?

so it doesn't matter, they're all the same quality?
