This is what I use for up to 10 GbE at the house: Cat6: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015QJ4276 RJ45 ends: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PXMN2VK Crimper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076MGPQZQ Tester: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0925826M2 Some might balk at the Cat6 (vs 6A) but it's solid copper and I haven't had any problems with it. Rated for up to 55 meters at 10 GbE. Most of my usage is 2.5 GbE or 1 GbE. I generally use single-mode-fiber for 10+ GbE except where I can't (ONT, PoE cameras, APs, etc.).
