What is the difference between ethernet and "network cables".

It's about the same thing. It just varies by the strength in each cable. My wifi came in a yellow color but I ordered the green and it worked just fine.

Without getting into the specifics cat 6 is just plain faster. But I recommend cat 5e rather than even considering cat 5 in the equation.cat 6a is currently the fastest I know about aside from Fiber optic.

This is a standard ethernet cable. It fits into anything with an ethernet port.

Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference. Simply, if you are cabling an Ethernet connection the Cat6 would offer a network theoretically "faster" with less noise. Fine IF all components and connections are also rated as Cat6. Otherwise the network would operate at a level equal to the lowest rated component. Lots of tech. details available that mostly would leave you with either terminal drowsiness or a colossal headache.If you are simply connecting home components you really don't need Cat6 (which has a higher price tag). Cat5 or Cat5E should work just fine. Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference.

Yes, this is a network cable for Ethernet which is pretty universal. The old standard cable was Category 5, but Category 6 is fully compatible with it.

This is not an Ethernet cable. It is a HMDI cable which carries both audio and video signals between 2 devices. We use it to connect our laptop to our digital TV, using the TV as a monitor. Because it is over 50 ft. it has an amplifier to boost the signal.

It is what is says it is: HDMI cable. Ethernet cable has a different connection.

Yes it does. With the trend of excluding older hardware from newer computers, I don't see Ethernet going out anytime soon. It's the fastest possible connection and all business still rely on wired connection rather than range limiting wi-fi or other wireless connections.

No but any Ethernet cable works fine. It's well worth the price and it worked great for me !

Yes, CAT5 cables are ethernet cables and will allow LAN access through an ethernet port.

I agree with Amanda's comment. Ethernet cable from router to computer is only for the initial set-up.

The network portconnects to your router. The other 4 to wired devices giving you the highest available Ethernet cable speed. The plus is that the wireless spewed to your wireless devices is 2.4 or 5.0 gig. Your choice in setup. However, by law these devices are limited in range by the FCC so don't expect much if looking for something to give you much reliability beyond 100 feet.

Stranded cable is slightly cheaper but is more difficult to work with and may require special jacks or tools to terminate properly. Most installations use solid cable for networking applications. I would recommend sticking with solid cable as the added expense will save a lot of time in the long run.

Any standard Ethernet cable with a rj45 connector will work. You only need to worry about the cat number if the cable length is going to be very long.

There is no definitive 3D specific cable yet from anything I can find. My limited knowledge says that if the cable can carry Ethernet and HDMI means"High Definition Multimedia Interface" than the 3D sales naming is for sales. I cannot find any reason to say there is a true difference yet in design. To be able to carry signal as input and output and at the speeds needed these days, the label is just that, a label. You are safe with these.

As far as their capacity, the small ones hold maybe 2 ethernet wires at best whereas the bigger ones have the capacity for 3 at best. On the safe side, I'd say one and two wires each.

Yes you can use an ethernet cable, I used one for the same purpose and it worked
