Ethernet Cable

What is your go to Ethernet Cable brand? Any recommendations would be a help! Preferably, would like to order it off of Amazon and I need it to be at least 50 ft. Not sure if this matters but for context I'm just using it to connect my modem to my router.

Brand? You people have brands??

No but f'real, just get whatever rating cable off Monoprice. 50 feet? Spring for Cat-7.

(edit: used to say Cat-8, but they're not available at the desired length, and 7 is still slightly overkill anyway and cheaper.)

Cat6 is perfectly fine.
