Buying Ethernet cable is not always as easy as it might seem. There is a huge selection of network cables of different types; Cat 5, Cat5e, Cat 6, Cat 6e and Cat 7, as well as different lengths colors and the like. It is important to buy the right network cable: over-specify it and you will pay too much; under-specify it and the performance will be impaired and the local area network or Ethernet link will not work as well as it might.
