Ethernet Cable

<p>I know this seems like a silly question, but is there a specific kind of ethernet cable we are to use for wired internet in the dorm rooms? The floor I'm on in my dorm does not have a study lounge, so I doubt I will get much of a wireless signal. UD's website says we need a 10 Base T Ethernet cable, what I've found while shopping are CAT6 and FastCat5e cables. I feel really clueless and would appreciate any help. Thanks!</p>

<p>Cat 6 superceded the Cat 5, and supposedly have better transmission if the underlying system supports it, but both are backwards compatible and fine for 10Base T.</p>

<p>Looks like all dorms have wireless access. I though it might have just been Rodney C as there was a sign up stating that wireless was active, but then I checked on the website under the IT section and it says all dorms are now wireless. No need for cables. Only downside is you can’t connect wireless printing but I would give that up to have wireless internet access. Yahooo…UDEL!</p>

<p>Yes, the wireless works well in my son’s dorm. He had not figured out how to connect his iphone but he was working on it.</p>
