Cable used to connect ONT to the Sky hub?

[Gav444444]

Hi.
I've recently ordered Sky Ultrafast Plus but it's not being installed till the beginning of February.  I want to get things ready for when the engineer comes.  By this, I mean running a cable from where the ONT will be installed into my living room and terminating it in a socket on the wall.  I've got a Cat 6a cable.  If I put an RJ45 connector on the end to connect to the ONT( the other end will terminate in the socket), will that be appropriate for my needs?

Thanks

@Gav444444The other end of the ethernet cable that comes from the ONT connects to the back of the router in the WAN port. Unless you have an ethernet port that connects back to other equipment that will connect to the router.

Either RJ45 plug or socket is fine (with the appropriate patch cables): as @Highlinder indicates the ONT has to connect directly to the WAN port on a Sky Broadband Hub or other (Sky-compatible) router.  By itself the ONT is not capable of routing or other router functions (DNS/DHCP etc).

Thanks guys. Think I'm set now.
