Hi guys. I want to buy an ethernet cable to connect my Xbox 360 to my BT hub, approx 10-15m (though I still have to measure the exact length needed)
I've had a look on Amazon at various cables but I'm confused by terms such as Cat5e and RJ45. Please can someone tell me what I should be looking for, will any ethernet cable do the job or is there a particular type?
TIA

Cat5e is the type of cable, RJ45 is the type of connector on the end of it. Generally anything marketed as an ethernet cable will be cat5e with male rj45 connectors at each end.0
