Just wondering; I have fiber optic. Is there a specific telephone cord I should use. Reason why I ask is because when looking some cords, some have less pins than others

I also would say you probably mean Ethernet which is like a wide phone cable. Cat 6 would be great. Some cables will say Cat 7 but the standard for Cat 7 was made to work with Cat 6 cables so every Cat 6 cable should be a Cat 7 cable if that makes sense.

Short answer; any RJ45 type will probably be just fine for internetwebz

It's also worth pointing out you can probably go with like an Amazon Basics Cat 6 cable and be find for like $6-7 bucks. Even on Fiber Optic anything Cat 6 certified should be able to handle the speed you are getting.

 

I am not sure if I'm explaining this right. I receive my internet via telephone line. That 'line' goes into my modem/router. Then to my rig. So refer that to the OP.
 

 

Candle, you dpuble posted, so I removed one.

OP, Is that a router provided the service provider, or one you purchased? Either way, how old is it?

how can that be fiber, phone lines are limited to about 50mbs due to the cable, no way will a normal 4 pin phone cord carry enough bandwidth for a fiber connection.
 
Are you sure its not just basic DSL?

 
 

Right. And I understand your confusion. However...how else would I get Fiber Optic? Via Cable? Not sure how else you're supposed to receive the signal

UHHG !!!! that does NOT look good.

Nice. But I get my service through a telephone line. Works rather well as I've been using it for years. So basically what I was asking is can I use a regular telephone cord or is there a cord that would improve. According to my speed tests, it appears good. Also I need to extend my telephone line at about 5'. As I asked; There are more pins than others.. I would assume that I only need four?
 
<EDIT>
I have a cat5e but I'm not using it. The one that's connected does not indicate

I replaced all my inside Cat2 with Cat5 a few years back.
I did this to have two spare pairs.

Would this be accurate? LINK

For the most part it is.
 
My network is all Cat5e and some Cat6 Plus 6 Routers and the Q1000
All running 1000 Mbps or "Gigabit" plus 2 Printers at 100 Mbps
Jumbo Default at 1500
 
I have not seen or used Cat7.

yup
