What Ethernet Cable Should I Use?

What type of Ethernet cable should use for use with sky anytime+?

• simples i have sky+hd box, i have sky BB and to get vod service you need to connect them both together. They do provide a wireless receiver but it cost's £60, well im not paying that besides my wireless signal gets chocked by a load bearing wall (the wireless natural enemy) from the hallway (where the router is) to the front room (where the tv is). So my solution is a really big ethernet cable i can chase that up to the ceiling under the floorboards then down to my television, cover up the exposed cable paint then jobs a good en. But after a quick goggle search it turns out there are different types of cable AAAAHHHHHh confusion what do i buy? Ive been told distance doesn't matter anything up to 100meters is ok, i probably need maybe 20-25 meters to go up across and then down and probably have some extra. so any clues to the differences oh yeah should mention im British so i guess there might be differences in connection types from different nations idk.

• Answer:

  Cat5 ethernet is old standard and replaced with cat5e which uses more wires offering less interference and higher speeds Cat6 achieves best performance by insulating each pair of wires with it's own sheath but the difference is minimal when used on a home network You should use cat5e
