possibly but not certain because nothing mentioned on other cable. check with newegg to see if they know the difference of the 2 cables.

lol
buy the cheap one we use generic cable for everything and our network actually runs at a gig
I think the '500' is so they can charge more, not that it is better

They're both FT Cat 5E. apart from the fact one is guaranteed to work at 500MHz (which is outside the specs required in the standard) and the other isn't and the price there is absolutely no difference. They will work with all hubs, switches, routers and cable modems. Industry standard.

ok thanks to all that help answer my questions.

also thanks janrocks for the links,

looks like i can go with the cheaper costing one because they both are pretty much the same cable.

Thanks.. Any generic cat5 cable will do unless you are running superfast gigabit cards.
