Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?

Spent hundreds on 6 foot a Synergistic Atmosphere Ethernet cable. One of my mistakes over the years. At the recommendation of a cable designer/retailer I respect I purchased a Blue Jeans CAT 6 for $12 and improved SQ. Aurender Customer Service indicated to me to avoid Ethernet cables with metal connector  housings.  They stated they have found metal connector housings may create distortion.  The Synergistic has a metal and plastic connector housing.  The Blue Jeans all plastic.  I am only sharing what they stated in their email exchange. Anyone want the Synergistic on the cheep?😀.  No, I would not really do that.  Recommendation, go with Blue Jeans and buy high resolution content with what you save. 

@baylinor I didn't see a fiber optic option for the Triode Wire Labs Freedom Ethernet cable..... Doesn't fiber optic(Toslink) limit the signal to 96kHz?

I have Triode's High Power Digital American II Power cable. Very well made.

The optical bundle I use is from Small green computers and it is located between my wifi extender and ethernet switch.

Oh. Ok...Is the FO considered Toslink? I ask because I heard that Toslink can't handle 192kHz well so it's lowers it to 96kHz. 

It is not a toslink connection, it is simply a way to get rid of interference caused by the metal elements of ethernet cables before it reaches the ethernet switch. The connection from my streamer to dac is still usb.
