New internet cable for my original skybox

[LindaA2]

I have had a sky box for many years and need to replace the internet cable but not sure what to buy. Could someone give me a description so I can order a cable that will fit?

Search for a cat 5 Ethernet cable of the length you require😉

Thanks but the cables I have seen seem too wide; my current cable is 4 wires wide.  Is there an adaptor I should get?

You need Category 5 (CAT5) or better Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs on each end

Search amazon for: cat 5 ethernet

@LindaA2  Perhaps you could take photo of the rear of the box where everything connects so the forum can advise

Or eBay or just do a internet search😉

Unless you are a Prime member Amazon is the expensive option🤔

Are you referring to the old Telephone cables rather than the ethernet cable ?

Telephone cables do not connect to the internet & have not been needed for many years now
