You can get by with the CAT 5 ethernet cable, but for just a little more you can purchase the CAT 6 ethernet cable which fits into the same slots and has better specs. Buy the best quality cable at a reduced price. I would recommend a name brand and not some cable online for 99 cents and a ton for the shipping from China or just there profit. I was able to purchase a 50 foot Belkin Gold Cat 6 for under $20 at EBAY including s/h and saw shorter cables for half that.
