@chrisnsol Cat 5 or above will do, make nsure it's fully wired for gigabit speeds

@chrisnsol

As @GD1 indicates, Cat5e is fine, and preferably pure copper rather than CCA (copper-clad aluminium) : the price difference is negligible for shorter lengths. RJ45 (ethernet) plugs at both ends.

(Actually, CCA shouldn't be rated as Cat5e at all, but some resellers are less than scrupulous)
