Yeah, if you can get one from a seller to try, it will definitely be worthwhile. I did extensive competitive benchmarking of Ethernet cables back in 2019 vs. the beta versions of what are now the Shunyata Ethernet cables. Even the entry-level Shunyata Venom Ethernet cable blew everything I had in for benchmarking completely "into the weeds", including my Audioquest Cinnamon, Belden Cat6A, Supra Cat 8 and rented-in AQ Vodka and Wireworld Starlight CAT 8. And...it wasn't even close.

Shunyata Alpha Ethernet is a great Ethernet cable to start with as it has the Cmode (common-mode noise) filter on it.
