What kind of cable to get?

[Jayteescout]

I know this is a total noob question but there are so many types of RJ-45 which is what I assume I should use to connect to my LAN network.

Standard Cat5e.

Such as this? TRIPP LITE N001-030-BK 30 ft. Cat 5E Black Color 350MHz Snagless Molded Cable - Newegg.com

 

[PP Mguire]

Few bucks more and you can get 100ft.
BELKIN A3L791-100 100 ft. Cat 5E Gray Color Network Cable - Newegg.com

Or cheaper for same length.

BELKIN A3L791-30-BLU-S 30 ft. Cat 5E Blue Color Patch Cable CAT5e Snagless RJ-45M / RJ-45M - Newegg.com

You should buy all of your cables from monoprice.com You will -not- beat the price on cables. Heck half the time shipping costs more than the cables I'm ordering.
Cat 5e Network Cables - Monoprice.com

Sorry didn't know about that site. I usually make my own cables.

It's alright, I got free 2 day shipping on all my stuff so that made up for any potentially better prices

And making your own cables? That sounds cool!

It's really easy. Just need a spool of cable, a crimper, and ends.
