Best Wire to go from My ATT Fibre Router to my Orbi Router

I have ATT Fibre coming to my house and looking to make sure that I use the best possible cable to get to my Orbi router. I have a cable right now that is a 24AWG CCA Patch Cord, POE,UTP, Network, Internet, LAN Cat6.  Is that the best? 

 

Thank You,

Curtis

    For connection rated ports that support up to 1000Mpbs, CAT6 UTP is recommended.

    For Connection rated ports that support over 1000Mpbs, CAT6A STP is recommended. I.e. 2.5Gb, 5Gb and 10Gb.

     

    What model Orbi do you have?
