Network cable

kabel cat 5To connect your computer to the internet you need a RJ45 Cable. A 5 meter cable is usually enough to move around your room with your laptop.

We recommend RJ45 Cables of the category CAT5 or CAT6

If you do not have a cable yet, you can buy one in many large supermarkets or in all computer and electronics stores. Google can help! (5 meters cost around 10€)

Common problems with cables

  • You mistakenly took an ISDN cable from the “random cable box”. Those are usually thinner because they contain only 4 leads, instead of the necessary 8.
  • Your cable is very old and has been bent or twisted and one or several of the wires inside are broken.
