Good to know about Cat7 cables

In terms of crosstalk/interference does this increase with length of the cable, and in this case would it be better to choose a higher category cable for a longer distance connection? (Around 25m let's say?)

Thank you so much man! This is exactly the video I've been looking for! Also, the ethernet cables in the description are good and trustworthy right? I'm thinking of picking one up soon.

I read somewhere where you shouldn't mix different cat eternet cables in your local network? I have a cat5ae cable from my router to my modem so does that mean I shouldn't use a cat6 from my cpu to my router? My one cable, the end is about to break off where it clicks in and I wondered if I should get a cat5e for that too instead of a cat6?
