Setting up an Ethernet network

We recommend using category 5, unshielded, twisted-pair cable (approximately 1/4” in diameter with a thin outer-jacket, containing eight color-coded wires), and equipment compatible with this type of cable. This type of cable is equipped with RJ-45 connectors (like a large telephone jack connector, but with eight pins) on each end.
