What is an Ethernet cable?

They are called RJ45 or simply Ethernet cable. You have several categories ranging from 5 to 8. The higher the category, the higher the total and download speed they offer. They also have different types of braiding and internal shielding. For home use, category 5e or 6 cables are sufficient, and the shielding is not important for connecting devices to the router, but it does protect the internal installation cables from electrical noise.

Speed determines the maximum speed supported by each cable. Frequency defines the power of the network, and usually sets its width and the rate of data loss along the cable. The longer a network cable is, the more power will be lost.

Which ethernet cable should I buy?

If you need to do an internal installation in your home by running cables through wall cavities, you will need to be concerned about the internal composition of the cable. The braiding is the aspect that protects them from electrical noise and interference, and in this respect, category 5e and above is usually sufficient for any GigaLan connection.

If you need better support for data transmission from multiple devices, such as connecting a computer or NAS to the router at the same time, it is worth trying higher category cables.
