Hi all. I need an Ethernet cable that goes from one of these ends to the other. What would I call it so that I can search for it and buy it on the internet?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all - turns out I was being really dense. Thanks to the commenters who helped me sort out my thickness!

    FYI ‘phone line’ is known as rj11, ‘ethernet’ is rj45. There’s different types of ethernet cable, most common is ‘cat5e’ that can transfer data up-to 1Gb/sec. Newer cables are usually ‘cat6a’ which adds shielding and up-to 10x the data transfer speed.

    So when you go looking for a new one for whatever reason, you have the technical name and don’t have to look at the pictures and hope the listing is actually what you need.
