Hey everyone. I have a question about cables again. Looking at newegg, there's a network cable i want to get. It's a 25ft cat6 cable that says it can be used as a cat 5/e and a cat5. So my question is... will this cat 6 cable work for me? I want to get 3 or 4 of them. What is a cat 6 cable? Is it just faster or something?
My situation, if you don't recall, is that i'm hooking up 3 computers to a router (the 8 port SMC barricade model 7008ABR) and having my router hooked up into the cable modem. I need to be able to transfer files between computers and to also share the cable connection.
Also, won't i need to purchase another cable to hook the router up to the cable modem? What cable do i get for this? Another cat 6 like the others? Or do i need a certain other kind of cable??
Please check out the listing on newegg to see what cable i'm inquiring about. Thanks guys!
