Ethernet Cable?

Le`roy · 8 Feb 2016 at 15:00

I am looking for a new Ethernet Cable to run from my router ( front room ) to my pc ( dinning room ) About 15m.

Through browsing to buy one there is a few different types :-

Cat-5
Cat-5e
Cat-6
Cat-6a
Cat-7

I am not really up on all this stuff so any info would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks

5e or 6 would suffice.

5e is all I've ever used/needed

5e, but avoid CCA (copper clad aluminium), it's OK over short runs, but it's no substitute for proper copper.

FYI, it's UTP cable, not Ethernet. Ethernet is a protocol.
