Is there a cost effective 'quality' USB and Network cable?

Just as there are offerings for cost effective quality cables for IC, PC, and speaker cables... are there any cable companies out there that offer solid performing data cables  - USB and Cat cables for a modest price?

Who is the 'Mogami' of Cat and USB cables?

Not looking to spend 200-1000 on data cables so I am looking for alternatives to spending an insane amount on data cables.

However - if one could explain what I am getting at the 200+ price point... vs the <200 I am all ears.

I'll 2nd jackd's Oyaide neo d+ Class A nomination. 

What I heard when switching to the Oyaide from entry level USBs by Audioquest (Pearl) and Pangea AG (all silver) was simply "more".

Note too great deals right now on the Shunyata Venom USB at Music Direct and The Cable Co.

The DH Labs Mirage USB is something else to consider.

Can't help on ethernet cable options.

Thx. 

I have had exp with BJC, but didn't know how well regarded they were in the inner circles of audiophilia in audiogon.  Although I have never used their network cables.

Will be trialing them shortly.
