It depends on what your going to be connecting to. Straight-thru cables connect to modems and routers. If your going to be connecting your ps2 to your computer's ethernet port, then you need a crossover cable.

Connections are normally strong through cables, cross over is when you want to connect something directly, and for a router you need a straight through cable, you will get a good signal anyway. Unless if your wire is miles long.

Just to make the answer quick, i have quote this from Cat 5 Cables Companies website. Get the Cat 5e if possible, its much better. Let me know if you need more help.

[Q] What's the difference between CAT 5 cable and CAT 5e cable?

[A] CAT 5 cable and CAT 5e cable have several differences, the most important are as follows:

* Network support - CAT 5 cable will support 10/100 Ethernet. That is, Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. CAT 5e cable will support Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. CAT 5e Cable is completely backwards compatible, and can be used in any application in which you would normally use CAT 5 cable.
* Less crosstalk - Crosstalk is the electrical interference that results when one wire's signal effects another wire's signal. CAT 5e cable has been improved over CAT 5 cable in this respect, and crosstalk has been greatly reduced.
* Bandwidth - This is directly related to network support, in the sense that the bandwidth is the information-carrying capacity of a system. The greater the bandwidth, the greater the information-carrying capacity in a given period of time. CAT 5e cable is rated at 350 megahertz, and it is this increased bandwidth (compared to CAT 5 cable) that allows it to support Gigabit Ethernet.

Your making too big a deal about this. Yes, cat 5e cables are better, but its up to you if you want to pay the extra price. Post the link to the ebay auction your looking at, and we will tell you if its what you need.

Yes, it aint a big deal, you wont really notice anything much of a difference, so if you want cat5e just get one.

I am calm. It sounds like you really want a cat5e cable, but your looking for someone to talk you out of it. If thats what you want, "Then buy it" as I said.

I do have a question about this, which could complicate things. When you say "my broadband box" do you mean your broadband modem?
