[Robc]

both will work, cat 5 e is just a newer version but for home use doesnt matter

[Kieran-D]

CAT5 and CAT5e are the same pretty much, if you want to get technical CAT5e is backwards compatible with CAT5 devices and has a higher distance rating, meaning it can be used in longer lengths than CAT5. CAT5 is like 100-120 metres CAT5e is about 300+ Metres. Among other things!

I wouldnt bust ya balls over it
